If you like butterflies, go there! On the north bank you will be attacked and fluttered about. In addition to the peacock butterfly and the brimstone butterfly, there are at least 5 other species. Unfortunately difficult to photograph.

A repeat tour from March 2022. I wasn't disappointed this time either. Simply a beautiful tour with peace and nature pure.
Even saw a kingfisher at the picnic :-)

Already yesterday, on one of my walks, it smelled so wonderfully of spring. So, is it any wonder that the sweet scent beckons you outside? Since it's been some time since I've been to Maxsee, I decided to go there on a whim. I also wanted to browse the bookstore to see if there was anything interesting there. And yes, …

The Maxsee has been on my list for a long time. Thanks to my left/right weakness, I ended up there on my bike in the summer and found it so beautiful that I decided to walk around the lake. The lake is almost completely surrounded by forest, the banks are surrounded by swamp forest and some marshland. Narrow paths almost …

July 19, 2025,Im/Um Maxsee (bei Müncheberg) ⚠️🏊‍♀️🥾

Taking advantage of the sunny weather! 🌞🏊‍♀️🥾💚

Today I explored Lake Maxsee near the village of Hoppegarten (not Berlin). Unfortunately, the lake smells bad and isn't the clearest, so swimming from the bathing area to the peninsula wasn't all that enjoyable.

This time, Komoot didn't record the water routes again. What a shame!

Beautiful walk between sand hills and the sparkling water of Lake Maxsee, cranes calling and geese flying overhead, beaver tracks on some trees, a few anglers sitting on the bank, otherwise hardly anyone around. Very quiet, very peaceful, very beautiful.

Although there was no sun today...it was a very beautiful and varied circular route around the Maxsee. Visited by the beaver all around :-) I can warmly recommend the tour (on foot)!!!
