プレツェルの湖・トップ20

A wonderful, natural path along the shores of Lake Bötzsee. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is the place for you.

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 lakeside path around the Bötzsee is an idyllic route that is suitable for hikers and cyclists alike. The starting point is the Schlagmühle tram stop, from where the route goes through small settlements and along the picturesque shores of the Bötzsee. Along the way you will come across shady forests, natural bathing areas and the barrier-free beach of the Spitzmühle - perfect for a short refreshment break. The path alternates between near the shore and forest sections and offers insights into the local flora and fauna.

Once around it's around 10km. You can also take a shortcut by ferry. But check the timetable: in winter only on weekends.

Beautiful path, lined with many small bathing bays.

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.

Unfortunately still very low water level.

Here you can relax from everyday stress
