ヘーエンラントの湖・トップ20

The forest lake, which is around 280 metres long and around 90 metres wide, is around five metres deep at its deepest point. It is located in the northern part of the "Sonnenburger Wald und Ahrendskehle" nature reserve. Formerly known as the Black Pond, it was renamed the Devil's Lake almost 200 years ago. As part of the Hammerthal, there are numerous stories about the lake. Today, you can find numerous beaver tracks around the lake and some beaver lodges. A lawn invites you to linger and the lake itself is of course a great place to cool off.

The Fängersee is the Bielefeld of Brandenburg. Does it exist? It is marked on all maps, but it remains an insider tip. This hike is proof: the lake is there, the water is wet, the summer is hot, the nature is magnificent and the circuit is documented. If you want to know what to expect beforehand, you will find very little. You can read about the fact that the Fängersee is part of a glacial glacial valley on the Wikipedia entry for the neighboring Bötzsee. There is also a reference to the lack of restaurants here: the two historic excursion restaurants Neue and Alte Spitzmühle were closed a few years ago and have not yet found new operators. With the remains of a Slavic castle rampart, there is also an archaeological monument in the Spitzmühle district. Unfortunately, the area seems to be primarily a popular garbage dump. A few years ago, the municipality of Strausberg promised that “the complex would be made recognisable again in the future and

The hiking trail around the Fängersee, embedded in the nature between Strausberg and Eggersdorf, offers a varied experience through forest areas and along the shore. The trail leads partly over unpaved and root-strewn paths, which can be muddy in wet weather. This stretch is part of a larger hiking route of around 24 km, which also includes the Bötzsee and the Fredersdorfer Mühlenfließ. Rest areas are rare, so bringing your own provisions is recommended, and the trails occasionally require attention when it comes to orientation.

The round takes place on paths at different heights to the lakes. There are always new photo opportunities. Swimming would also be possible in some places.

The Teufelssee is an idyllically located lake west of Bad Freienwalde. Several hiking trails, such as the Oderlandweg or the Turmwanderweg, pass by here. A very beautiful lake that invites you to linger and rest.

Around the lake, always a great view.

From time to time you trudged through swampy terrain. Good shoes are important: no pumps or sandals.
