Loop
This surprisingly hilly and high-contrast loop leads through a unique nature reserve south of Werder (Havel). The trail explores the so-called "Glindower Alpen" and follows a diverse mixture of steep forest paths, narrow ravine trails, and viewpoints overlooking the Havel region. A central highlight is the view from the Belvedere and the passage through the deep, almost gorge-like cuts that gave the area its alpine name. For Brandenburg standards, the route is unusually rich in relief and requires a certain basic fitness on the sometimes sandy or root-covered climbs.
