Wooden Bridge Over the Lindower Rhin

Highlight • Bridge

This boardwalk would actually be the perfect finishing touch to the circular path around Lake Huwenow.

Currently, the lake's water level is so high that the boardwalk is submerged. There's also a fallen tree lying across it – likely a result of the recent storms.

You can still circumnavigate the lake by turning right shortly before the Huwenowsee bathing area and taking the detour via Baumgarten.

Huwenowsee Lakeside Trail

Highlight • Trail

Idyllic path along the Huwenowsee. It is worth going around the lake at least halfway.

What wonderful weather today, I didn't think twice, packed my backpack and off I went. Today I'm going to hike to Meseberg around the Huwenowsee. It's been on my list for a long time, it's just beautiful, the path goes right along the lake. At first the trees and bushes were still covered in frost, but the sun quickly put …

I start my hike at the free hiking car park in front of the church in Meseberg. From there, I head straight into nature – a short walk through the castle park and then onto the lakeside path.

The entire loop leads along narrow paths and wooden plank walkways, always very close to the shore of Lake Hugenow. The …

Cold, sunshine in a beautiful and quiet area with interesting historical insights (Meseburg Castle, Lessing family mausoleum, Fontane path).🌤️☺️
Unfortunately also a bit sad because it was the first tour without my furry friend. 🐶😔

Schloss Meseberg is located about 70 km north of Berlin. Meseberg is a small district of the town of Gransee. The Huwenowsee is located directly on the castle grounds. The circular hiking trail around the Huwenowsee takes you into a landscape that could hardly be more magical: oak and beech forests with many old trees line natural forest paths along …

Actually, today ☀️ was announced and that's why we went to Meseberg. We wanted to circumnavigate the Huwenowsee from Schloss Meseberg - the federal guest house.
But already on the way there we drove through fog, fog, fog...
We started anyway and our round developed into a scramble tour. The path around the lake was peppered with fallen trees, not …

You cannot cross the Lindower Rhin at the end of Lake Huwonow at the moment. The path behind the bridge is completely under land. So you have to plan a detour.

In 2007, the Messerschmitt Foundation gave the German government the Meseberg Castle on Lake Huwenow - for a period of 20 years. Symbolic rent of 1 euro.
Willy Messerschmitt, aircraft designer and head of Messerschmitt Bölkow Blohm, or MBB for short, bequeathed his entire fortune to the foundation. Later, DASA took over MBB.
The German government now stays in the …
