Hikes in Seenland Oder-Spree

Hiking through the Lake District gives you the opportunity to discover Märkische Schweiz and its special features. A remarkable hike in this context is the Natura Trail. It is 15 kilometres long and takes 4 hours to complete. You will be rewarded with a breathtaking landscape on the route, which also contains exciting elements. Ideally, you should plan a whole day for the hike - that way you can take enough time for every sight along the way.

Nature lovers will also enjoy the route through the Stobbertal valley. You can discover the landscape of Märkische Schweiz over a distance of about 10 kilometres. Take at least 3 hours for this hike. This way you can spend a little longer in nature and enjoy its special features. No matter whether you hike through the green forest in summer or cross the almost fairytale-like landscape in winter, the hike through the Stobbertal valley is a tour worth taking at any time of year.

Hiking with children is also possible in the Oder-Spree Lake District. You can choose from hiking trails such as the family-friendly hike around Lake Bötz, which takes you through mystical pine forests. Due to the varied natural landscape, young and old alike will get their money's worth on the 8.5-kilometre trail. You will need a good 2 hours for the hike - but it is best to plan a little more time for an excursion with children.

Another easy route is the tour from Hangelsberg to Fürstenwalde. The 13.5 kilometres are characterised by wide meadows and old oak trees and run along the Spree - so there is no lack of variety on this hike. You'll be on your feet for around 3 hours on this unique route. Children can let off steam in the Oder-Spree Lake District not only on the hiking trails. In the region you will also find summer toboggan runs and several petting zoos.

The day hike on the Schlaubetal hiking trail is rightly considered a highlight in the Oder-Spree Lake District. It leads 27 km through the Schlaubetal valley from Müllrose to the Wirchensee lake, which you can also walk around on a nature trail. Along the way you will discover a wide variety of animal and plant species that have settled in the different natural areas. Refreshment stops provide food and rest opportunities on the long tour.

The smallest and oldest nature park in Brandenburg, Märkische Schweiz, is best explored on the nature park route. The Schermützelsee lake near Buckow is the highlight of this hike, which is also characterised by other small lakes, pools, sunken paths and steep slopes with dry grassland.

Lake Scharmützelsee near Bad Saarow is also worth a trip. Here you can walk along the lakeside promenade and pass impressive villas and old half-timbered houses. The path leads along the shore to the lido, where you can cool off in the Scharmützelsee in summer.
