Location
On a dirt road in a garden colony near Lübbenau.
Maps generally place the road south of the point, but imagery shows the road right through the point.
Participants
Plans
Train to Lübbenau, then bike.
Expedition
Around lunchtime, I biked to Berlin-Ostkreuz. There I bought something small to eat while waiting for the next train (RE7 towards Senftenberg, with more intermediate stops than RE2). The train turned out to be short and crowded, so I had to stand for the hour-long ride to Lübbenau.

I rode quickly towards the point to keep warm, crossing the rail line and then taking a cycle path parallel to the road. As I approached the rails again, I saw a northbound regional train go by. Then the crossing gates closed in front of me and I had to wait nearly two minutes until... a tiny rail maintenance vehicle passed through going south.
On the other side of the tracks was the garden colony. The point was, in fact, right on the road, so another two-minute stop sufficed.
OpenStreetMap showed a connection out the other side of the gardens, and indicated that this was a designated hiking route, so I continued that way. I found more adventurous riding conditions: a narrow walking path on an embankment, followed by a potholed dirt road.
Only once back at the station did I check for a return train: 10 minutes, plus a 10 minute delay, until a return RE7. So I peeked in the station before it closed at 15:00 to warm up for a minute. This train was twice as long and much less crowded, with free seats until Königs Wusterhausen.
Another snack at Ostkreuz. Back home, I adjusted the road location in OpenStreetMap based on my tracklog.
