View of Plaktowsee from Wuppgarten Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Even from the street you have a beautiful view over the lake. A board provides information about the circular route that leads around the lake. Definitely recommended.

Colleague 🦫 seems to be doing very well here - apart from the dam itself, gnawed trees can be seen all along the eastern shore of the lake

The north side has a marked hiking trail, the south side has a hiking trail that sometimes turns into a path, but is not marked but is still quite easy to walk (there are a few passages on the slope).

October 18, 2025,Wanderung UM – Um den Platkow- und den Glambecksee
