A hike through quiet fields, forests and villagesGroß Ziethen, along with Altkünkendorf, is not only the most significant gateway for tours into the Grumsin beech forest UNESCO World Heritage site, but also a starting point for recommended tours in the southern and southwestern surrounding areas. The quiet, almost otherworldly landscape and the two small villages visited have a special charm, made even more touching by the fact that they are close to the heavily trafficked B 198 road and within reach of the A 11 Berlin–Szczecin highway. Yet their proximity is not noticeable during the hike.
The special features of this region are manifold. Here you will find a varied flora and fauna as well as picturesque lakes and forests. The Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve is known for its species-rich fauna and impressive variety of plant species. A true paradise, then, for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts.
