Meadows, fields and swamps – pretty places and a poetWhile most places in the Uckermark region suffered greatly in 1945, Angermünde was able to largely preserve its historic old town. Timber-framed houses, a charming marketplace, the massive town church, and the Franciscan monastery church give the town of 14,000 residents a special appeal. Added to this is its location on the scenic Mündesee. North of Angermünde, you'll encounter hills, small woods, expansive fields, lowland streams, and the Welsebruch swamp areas, which enchant visitors with their untouched nature. Biesenbrow is known throughout Brandenburg as the birthplace of the realist writer Ehm Welk (1884–1966). In his widely read novels not only in the GDR, "The Heathens of Kummerow" and "The Righteous of Kummerow," which depict village life from his childhood years, he has created a literary monument to his birthplace and its surroundings.

On dams of the East and West Oder to a castle ruin with distant viewsThe Oder splits below the Oderbruch near Hohensaaten into an east and a west arm, forming a wide floodplain or polder strip between the two, which stretches to Szczecin, where both arms reunite. This floodplain zone is a central part of the Lower Oder Valley National Park. The state border runs along the middle of the East Oder or on its west edge. However, the western arm of the Oder only bears the name "West Oder" starting a few kilometers below Schwedt. Due to flooding, the West Oder was converted into a canal after 1920, the 42 km long "Hohensaaten-Friedrichsthal Waterway." The expansion ends near Friedrichsthal, south of Gartz – from here, the West Oder exists in its "old" form. The area around this canal between Hohensaaten and Criewen is scenically attractive because it (and thus the old Oder glacial valley) is limited on its west side by steeply sloping lateral moraine ridges. Near Stolpe, about 10 km southeast of Angermünde, the moraine is crowned by a widely visible castle ruin, popularly named "Grützpott," the last remnant of a medieval Pomeranian border castle. It has been a ruin since the 15th century. Stolpe is the birthplace of naturalist and geologist Leopold von Buch (1774–1853), who is interred in a hereditary tomb in the park of his manor house at the foot of the castle hill.

Varied tour with nature, village and city impressionsThe first glance at the hiking map does not make the west and northwest of Schwedt seem like an appealing hiking area due to the chemical plant and its industrialized surroundings. But between Pinnow and Schwedt, around Felchow Lake and extending into the urban area of Schwedt, lies a little-known and gently tranquil natural region. Pinnow itself features a remarkable architectural monument with its imposing manor house. Also particularly worth seeing is the historic chestnut avenue from Berkholz to Schwedt – this is the route the presented hiking trail follows. Unfortunately, due to the lack of suitable paths or geographical conditions, it was not possible to incorporate the route into a meaningful circular hike – therefore the hike ends in Schwedt, from where you return to Pinnow by regional train.
