Bundesautobahn 11, federal motorway in Germany
Bundesautobahn 11 is a four-lane highway running through Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg, covering approximately 110 miles from Berlin northeast toward the Polish border. The road passes through flat terrain with forests, fields, and scattered villages visible from the highway.
Planning for the highway began in the 1930s as part of the larger Reichsautobahn project, with construction starting in 1936. After World War II, the route was rebuilt and modernized over the decades, with major upgrades in the late 2000s including pavement renewal and lane widening.
The drive is straightforward with clear signage and good maintenance throughout. Several rest stops offer chances to refuel, grab food, or stretch, especially useful during long drives across the flat landscape.
Green bridges have been constructed over forested sections to allow deer, boar, and foxes to safely cross the highway without risk from traffic. These special structures are covered with soil and vegetation, creating natural passages for wildlife.
