The Uckermark: A fabled area full of wide, hilly landscapes, quiet forests, glittering lakes and sleepy villages. This region—located in Brandenburg's untouched north—remains one of the most sparsely populated in Germany, despite being fairly close to Berlin. This makes it the perfect destination for a weekend getaway from the German capital—just put your phone in flight mode, lace your boots and go. Right into the beauty of the Uckermark.

In nine stages, this Collection will show you the best of this region. Starting in Prenzlau, all of the stages are easy to master even for inexperienced hikers, with only the final two stages of the hike presenting any real difficulty. The hike follows old cobblestone streets, quiet forest paths and leisurely country lanes, and it'll take you past numerous deep blue bathing lakes and tiny villages that are seemingly stuck in time; still-living reminders of a bygone age. As the Uckermark becomes more and more renowned, however, these rural time capsules—old as they may be—are well stocked with everything a visitor needs, from lovingly furnished restaurants and cafés, and interesting country estates.

To help you make the most of your time, we have planned all nine stages to end in villages or towns where plenty of accommodation options are available. As this hike is a roundtrip, you can choose to start on any stage. We recommend starting either at Prenzlau (stage 1), at Angermünde (stage 4), or at Templin (stage 7), however, as all of these towns can be reached via regional train from Berlin in about one and a half to two hours.

If you only want to go hiking into the Uckermark for a few days, choose a section of the Uckermärker Landrunde. Thanks to good train connections to Berlin, stages 1 to 3, 4 to 6 and 7 to 9 are perfectly suited as three-day hikes. With the exception of Wuppgarten—the destination of the seventh stage—all stage destinations are also connected to the nearest railway stations by regional buses. This makes it easy to plan two-day sections. Due to the good connection to the public transport network, you could even conquer the Uckermärker Landrunde over several weekends.

Bus timetables can be found at uvg-online.com/home.html.
