A short hike around a little-known lakeJust a few kilometers northeast of Templin lie the Petznicksee, Trebowsee, and Kuhzer See, waters largely untouched by tourism, only the Große Dolgensee near Herzfelde is directly accessible. The 17 ha lake is up to 5 m deep, rich in fish, and managed. Also worth seeing are the manor complex and the castle in Herzfelde. The latter was built in the early 20th century in a classical style. In 1944/45, the Japanese embassy was housed here, having been "relocated" from Berlin due to air raids. After the war, the castle briefly served as a refuge for displaced persons from the German eastern territories. Since the mid-1950s, it was a training center for various GDR authorities. Since the late 1990s, it has been privately owned and is a popular venue for private celebrations such as weddings and a meeting place for the Berlin-Brandenburg high society. The castle is not open outside of events, but the park is usually open during the day. The shortness and attractive nature make this tour very appealing.

A Mysterious Place of Recent HistoryFriedrichswalde lies on the eastern edge of the Schorfheide and is known for its traditional wooden shoe manufacturing. Although the heavily trafficked Joachimsthal–Templin road runs through the town, it is worth stopping because of the charming and well-maintained townscape. Just a few kilometers west of it is Carinhall, the former country estate of the former Reich Hunting Master and Reich Marshal Hermann Göring. In 1933, he had a small hunting lodge built on the eastern shore of the Great Döllnsee, and in 1934 a crypt was added for his first wife Carin, who died in 1931. Between 1937 and 1940 it was expanded twice so that it could also be used for receiving state guests and diplomats. Göring assembled his art treasures looted throughout Europe in a private museum in Carinhall. At the end of April 1945, he had Carinhall blown up. The art treasures had been transported away beforehand but were later secured by the Americans. During the GDR period, the ruins were completely removed, with only the two small guardhouses remaining to this day. Since 1950, Carinhall has been a destination for treasure hunters and fortune seekers. Only small, completely overgrown foundation remains of the original country house are still present. Carin Göring's plundered and also overgrown crypt lies directly on the Wuckersee.
