Fabulous nature hike in Altlandsberg, Brandenburg.
Note: the accessibility refers to the lido. Unfortunately, some of the shore and forest paths are not.
In the densely wooded Märkisch-Oderland region lies the Altlandsberg castle estate, which includes the Bötzsee lake, located between the Eggersdorf-Nord and Spitzmühle areas. The idyllic Ice Age lake, on which motorised boat traffic is prohibited, boasts green shores, small bays and excellent water quality. The start is on the Altlandsberger Chausee near the Eggersdorf lido. The route first goes through the forest, then past fields to the water. There is always something romantic about walking along the lakeshore, but above all it provides complete rest and relaxation. At Johanneshof, the route heads inland again into the beautiful, dense forest and back to the starting point.
Highlight outside the lake: the castle estate in the historic old town of Altlandsberg.
Highlight on the lake: the only barrier-free lido in the region
