Popular loop in the Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve, Brandenburg.
From Neuehütte, the route leads along the edge of the forest and finally over forest paths around the Bachsee.

A nice tour, during which you can discover the diversity of plants in the region and you will also come across swans, geese and ducks from time to time. Even if the trail is quite popular, you don't have to worry that it will ever be overcrowded. An excursion is always worthwhile and promises a wonderful experience of nature.
