Lake Grimnitz

Highlight • Lake

A very beautiful lake, which has much to offer: on the south shore is a bit more busy with the holiday village and some swimming, the rest is pure nature.

Grimnitzsee swimming spot

Highlight • Beach

This beautiful place is located a little bit away from the place, in the middle of the forest and invites you to linger or even take a dip in the refreshing water. Is right on the bike path

January 4, 2025,Start ins neue sportliche Jahr 2025..🥾durch die Schorfheide
Finally...💋 on tour 👍🥾
I actually wanted to hike in Eberswalde, but the hiking tour around the Grimnitzsee in the Schorfheide was much more appealing.
I first drove to Althüttendorf, 85 km away. Once there, I hiked anti-clockwise. The first few kilometers went well until the path ran parallel to the motorway, where it was quite loud...about 2 km long. …

Today I spontaneously went for a walk around the Grimnitzsee and did a bit of geocaching.
Yes, it was warm. But it was still a nice walk!

A beautiful lake, but unfortunately you walk a long way around it and then almost the entire route is asphalt. It is ideal for swimming in several places with refreshment stops.

In beautiful hiking weather, pleasant temperatures and no wind, today we went around the Grimnitzsee and thus basically the continuation of the last walk in this area ( komoot.de/tour/1833564109 )
Highlights were the great views from the elevated Althüttendorf over the southern part of the lake, the 'bathing area' on the west side of the lake and the view over …

Today I tried out my new hiking boots, the goal was to bypass the Grimnitzsee. I had hoped that you could walk close to the lake, but unfortunately that's not possible 😔. Most of the time you walk on paved and tarred paths, but sometimes you walk directly on the main road. Which isn't so nice, of course. Overall, I'd …

Shortly after 10 it went from the train station in Joachimsthal to the Grimnitzsee. At first the weather wasn't really stable. But the German weather service had predicted an improvement soon.
The path around the lake runs mainly on paved bike paths. This makes the hike a bit tiring. The piece of path parallel to the A11 motorway is also …

13th place in the challenge - the Grimnitzsee. The lake circuit - an easy 14 km. Today I leave my hiking socks and shoes in the holiday apartment and set off leisurely with sandals and a day bag. Just past Althüttendorf I take advantage of the view of the Grimnitzsee from a nature observation point. Shortly after that I spot …

Start/Finish - Nature Observation Station car park
Always follow the cycle path and use the many old milestones as a guide. After 10 km in Joachimsthal things get interesting. Joachimsthal train station is a disgrace, however. Luckily the windows have been decorated with pictures painted by children.
There are many bathing areas if you follow the cycle path along the …
