Along these routes, you step into unspoilt nature, come right up close to the water and enjoy refreshing moments that awaken the senses. Idyllic bays and peaceful resting places offer plenty of chances to jump into the crystal-clear water.

Panoramic hiking with views of Lake Weissensee

The unique blend of water, meadows and forest gives the natural landscape around Lake Weissensee its special charm. Two thirds of the lake are completely undeveloped. This makes Lake Weissensee a paradise for hikers, who almost never lose sight of the sparkling water on nearly 200 km of marked hiking trails.
