Worthwhile hiking trail in the Barnim Nature Park.
A good bit north of the Berlin Buch S-Bahn station is the Hobrechtsfelde car park. From here, a hiking trail leads through the heathland and the Hobrechtswald. If you stay north, you cannot miss the town of Gorinsee with the bathing lake of the same name. There is a swimming area and a place to stop for refreshments. Just the thing on a hot summer day, but also nice at other times. Accessible by bus and train. The way back is the same as the way there.
