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.

Summiteers, Kammweg, Watzmann, summit cross, tower hikers and much more - and that in the middle of Märkische Schweiz 🇨🇭.
