Loop
Mixed hiking trip in the state of Brandenburg.
This route arouses mixed feelings among ALLTRAILS users: on the one hand, there are beautiful forest paths, the idyllic Kleiner Lienewitzsee, the view of the Schwielowsee and the Wietkiekenberg observation tower (old German for "see far"). On the other hand, the latter can only be used for refreshment at the Ferch lido - the rest of the eastern shore is overgrown with reed biotopes that are under nature protection. In addition, the idyll is marred by the busy shore road for which there is no alternative. When arriving by train, it is best to look for a connection directly to Ferch-Lienewitz, because the route from Seddin station leads along a busy road and under the city motorway.
