Bismarck Tower (Bad Freienwalde)

Highlight • Monument

Anyone who wants to get the tower diploma has to climb the 112 steps anyway, but even without the tower diploma, a trip here is worthwhile: once you get to …

Devil's Lake (Bad Freienwalde)

Highlight • Lake

A nice spot for a short break from hiking. Jump in briefly and cool off. In the middle there is a small island that invites you to swim towards it.

April 26, 2025,Bismarckturm – Teufelsee Runde von Falkenberg (Mark)

You shouldn't venture off the official "Gipfelstürmer" hiking trail, even if komoot shows you some of the trails.
We tried it today and were proven wrong.
Turning back and staying on the right path is better!

Otherwise, it's a nice spot to gain some elevation in the Berlin area.

Summiteers, Kammweg, Watzmann, summit cross, tower hikers and much more - and that in the middle of Märkische Schweiz 🇨🇭. Fantastic views of the Oderbruch, winding paths, deep gorges - all of this can be found in the Märkisches Bergwanderpark. It takes a bit of skill and sporting ambition, the storms of the last few weeks have really hit the …

The latter was even open, and for 2 euros you could climb …

Today there was a lot of bright yellow :-))
I read on the internet that you can hike around Falkenberg. I wanted to look at it. Conclusion: you could "train" there before the next mountain tour by simply running up and down the valleys between the paths again and again. Maybe I'll do that next spring. In general, I would …
