Loop
This extensive hike leads all the way around the Schwielochsee, the largest natural lake in the state of Brandenburg. The start of the loop is at the parking lot at the Goyatz lido.
The trail runs mostly close to the shore along flat forest and meadow paths and through small villages such as Jessern and Goyatz. A particular highlight is the view over the wide expanse of water of the lake, which is fed by the Spree and is considered a paradise for sailors and water sports enthusiasts.
