Idyllic nature hike in the Barnim Nature Park.
If you like a varied yet peaceful hike, you'll find it here. The route offers the diverse fauna of the heathland and a good stretch of Brandenburg forest. From Schönow, the route first leads to the edge of a separately fenced area where various wild animals were released a few years ago. With a bit of luck, you might spot a buffalo or red deer. There is also a viewing platform not far from the route, so you can help your spotting luck. Accessible by bus and S-Bahn. There are refreshment stops at the start and end of the route.
