The Maxsee, southwest of Hoppegarten in Müncheberg, is a real gem in the Brandenburg landscape. It covers 68 hectares, and if you want to stroll around it, you can be sure that there is a lot to discover.
In summer, when the forest that almost completely surrounds the lake is lush green and the water glitters in the sun, the walk almost feels like a little vacation. Reed beds, rubble forest and swampy areas characterize the bank landscape. The Löcknitz - or as they say here, the Mühlenfließ - runs through the lake and gives the entire area its typical Brandenburg face.
Not far from the bank is the “Neue Mühle” manor house. Historical and impressive, a little journey through time in the middle of the countryside. And while you're hiking, you can watch the anglers, engrossed, looking for perch, pike or even the odd carp. There's a lot of activity here at the weekend, but during the week you can really enjoy the lake and its tranquility.
But it's not just nature that's a highlight here. The variety of fish is not without it. Perch, carp and pike, even pike-perch have already attracted anglers here. Sure, there's a lot of fishing going on at the weekend. But during the week you can choose your spot and fish in peace.
One more thing: the islands in the middle of the lake? It's better to leave them alone. They belong to the birds and nature. But with a boat, without a motor of course, you can go for a little spin.
