March 29, 2024,Glindower Alpen – Petzow Schlosspark Runde von Werder (Havel)

With my wife Beate, brother Holger and partner Petra we hiked around Werder with the Glindow Alps and the Petzow peninsula on Good Friday. A nice hike, although a bit asphalt-heavy except for the Glindow Alps. In Werder we treated ourselves to a beer and a fish sandwich in a fish smokehouse on the Havel. Of course, we couldn't walk …

April 28, 2022,Um den Glindower See und durch die Alpen

Today exercise in the fresh air was on the agenda and so we first strengthened ourselves at the breakfast buffet in Café Hagemeister and then we headed towards Glindow.
The Märkisches Ziegeleimuseum was closed, unfortunately it is only accessible on weekends and public holidays, probably because the brickworks are still in operation and you don't want to provoke clumsy tourist …

September 6, 2025,Durch die Glindower Alpen auf einen (2 😂) Wein zum Werderaner Wachtelberg

Unfortunately, the route through Werder follows the main road, but there's no other way. Because of the nettles along the hiking trails, I recommend long pants. And be sure to stop at Café Drei Kähne in Petzow. Excellent coffee and incredibly delicious cake. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

July 16, 2024,Runde von Werder: Insel Werder, Petzow, Glindower Alpen

Today I went from Werder train station to Werder Island, which I walked around once. It's worth it, especially because of the charming alleys, a promenade along the river that invites you to linger, two churches and a post mill.

April 26, 2025,Auf dem Panoramaweg Werderobst

This year's hiking trip takes us to Werder near Potsdam. Today we set off on the Werderobst Panorama Trail. A very scenic, but also strenuous, tour through beautiful, blooming, and sunny (18 degrees Celsius) countryside, with occasional stops at a local inn.

August 27, 2021,Glindower Alpen, Inselstadt Werder und Seen rund um Glindow

The Glindower Alps are the result of the clay mining south of the Glindower See, which began in the middle of the 15th century until the 20th century. The gradual degradation of the clay resulted in the current appearance of the Glindower Alps in a very small space.
The clay for brick production was quarried in long trenches and pits …

January 3, 2023,Von Werder Bahnhof durch den Stadtwald, in die Glindower Alpen, Riegelspitze

From the Werder train station it was 182 steps up to the Friedrichshöhe. Then uphill through the city forest of Werder, downhill to the Plessower See, then to the Glindower See. After a short break and after the brickworks, the Glindow Alps were climbed. Arriving in Petzow, we went around the Haussee to the castle, to the Riegelspitze and back …

February 4, 2023,🇩🇪 Alpenflair in Brandenburg – Glindower Alpen & Werder (weit) vor der Baumblüte ⛰️🌸

Actually, this tour was supposed to be a means to an end: go out, enjoy nature, move "a little" and catch tons of Pokemons. Oh well. If the route planner hadn't overlooked the fact that the Pokemon event only takes place on Sunday. 😆 But since it was wonderfully sunny (which is quite a rarity), we started on Saturday anyway.
