Almost eleven years old and still beautiful: This OMSI 2 map takes you from Potsdam around Lake Schwielowsee!

On this map, you drive line 607 of the Havelbus transport company. The route starts at Potsdam Hauptbahnhof and takes you along Uferstraße beside Lake Schwielowsee toward Caputh and Ferch. That alone does not sound like classic inner-city rush, but rather like an excursion, water, small towns, and a Brandenburg feeling. According to the project description, the drive to Ferch takes just over half an hour, the section to Caputh is served more frequently on weekday afternoons, and on weekends, the route even continues every two hours via Petzow to Werder. For the full route from Potsdam to Werder, you are on the road for around 55 minutes. This is not a mini round for in between, but a proper line with distance, changing places, and that pleasant feeling of really being on the move.

Lake Schwielowsee itself is more than just a pretty name in the description. It is located in the Brandenburg district of Potsdam-Mittelmark and belongs to the Havel region. Along its shore are, among others, Caputh, Ferch, Petzow, and Geltow. The area is shaped by water, reeds, forest, shorelines, and excursion traffic.

What really pulled me into line 607 was this calm naturalness.

What is especially nice is that old maps like this do not simply disappear. OMSI 2 has this strange but pretty strong quality that even old projects can be rediscovered years later. Someone drives them again. Someone talks about them. Someone might build an announcement pack or upload a small addition. And suddenly, a map that many had long forgotten becomes a topic of conversation again. That is exactly what shows why the OMSI community is still so special today. It is not always just about the newest thing. Sometimes an old route is enough, as long as it has a clear character.

Line 607 has exactly that character. It is not a perfect map, and it does not have to be. It is a beautiful regional drive from Potsdam to Lake Schwielowsee, with places you can remember, with a landscape that stays in your mind, and with a driving time long enough to really settle into it. You are not just driving a route; for a moment, you step out of the usual OMSI rush. And maybe that is exactly why this map surprised me so much.

In summary, “Line 607: From Potsdam around Lake Schwielowsee” is, for me, one of those OMSI 2 maps that is absolutely worth digging up again in 2026. Almost eleven years old, visibly from another time, but still really beautiful. Not because it blows everything else away technically. But because it shows a place, captures a mood, and reminds you that OMSI 2 does not live only through the big add-ons, but also through small, lovingly built routes like this.

Do you already know the OMSI 2 map Line 607? Did you play it back then? Should we present old OMSI maps more often again?
