Loop
Historically interesting loop in the Schorfheide, Brandenburg.
The tour leads from the Althüttendorf train station over forest paths parallel to the railway tracks to the northern end of the Werbellinsee and then to the Joachimsthal train station. The recently restored train station was used by Kaiser Wilhelm II for hunting trips and recreation at the lake and is now back in operation. From there it goes on to the Grimnitzsee and on its densely wooded edges back to the starting point. A nice excursion to experience the nature and history of Brandenburg. There are numerous places to stop for a break along the way.
