Loop
This loop weaves through the protected landscapes of the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park, connecting a series of ice-age lakes between Dobbrikow and Rieben. Starting near the historic village church in Dobbrikow, the path wanders over sandy pine-forested tracks and quiet field paths toward Riebener See, the largest body of water along the way. A wooden boardwalk extends over marshy reed beds to an elevated observation platform, where visitors can watch sea eagles, osprey, and migratory waterfowl. Light footwear suited for soft sand helps with navigation along the gentle inclines of the surrounding glacial hills.
