프리드리히스발데 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

The name is nonsense.

An absolute highlight in autumn!

Thirty young German soldiers (paratroopers) died here in 1945, shortly before the end of the war. Senselessly killed by the Russians, who were presumably staying or hiding in this remote forest region because of the nearby highway. As I learned from a local mountain biker, this memorial was rebuilt years ago after the first one (a few meters away) was deliberately destroyed. Even the gravestone was stolen.

A beautiful lake in a very quiet location. There's an official swimming area not far from the dovecote, which also offers the best views. Otherwise, swimming in this lake is a bit difficult due to the many large rocks, but it's possible. The northern shore (from the swimming area) is completely inaccessible, but the southern shore is easily accessible along a rustic path.

Why? If we imagine that both parties are controlled by a single source, the answer might be, "It serves our decimalization." With Kazarian greetings.

The lake is very clean, and this great swimming spot is quietly located. A large parking lot is just 100 meters away. Facilities include a long wooden jetty, a level access to the water, exactly four benches (two of which are new and very sturdy), and a proper covered rest area with a table and benches! Just being here and enjoying the view is completely worthwhile. There's plenty of space along the gentle slope, even if it gets quite crowded in hot weather. A small forest stretches behind the benches. Advantage: The location is sheltered from the wind. Disadvantage: You sit in the shade (almost always!). In the heat, shade can certainly be an advantage.

The detour to the lake is worthwhile; it's simply pure nature. You can even take a break right by the water.

Poratz is a very pretty village with its own atmosphere. Unique in its form, also due to the wonderful landscape all around with the rolling hills and lonely forests. A real highlight of the Uckermark!
