Description
Village Outdoor – Through Forest and Moorland around Lake Bötzsee and Lake Fängersee near Strausberg
with Harms Wulf and Thomas Fischer
In May, a varied circular hike leads us through the beautiful Strausberg and Blumenthal Forest and Lake District nature reserve.
The trail runs mostly along the shores of Lake Bötzsee and Lake Fängersee, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. Along the way, we’ll encounter old, sometimes dilapidated, mills that tell tales of bygone eras. Idyllic bathing spots invite you to take a break – and perhaps it will even be warm enough for a first dip in the lake.
Since places to stop for refreshments along the way are not guaranteed, please remember to bring sufficient provisions and something to drink – better safe than sorry!
What’s Village Outdoor?
Village outdoor Events are monthly meetups for the we are village community and their friends to enjoy outdoor activities in and around Berlin.
Activities include forest hikes, bike tours, swimming in lakes, sightseeing, and kayaking. Each month features a free and easy walk or hike in Berlin or its surrounding areas, accessible by public transport.
Harms Wulf Harms already knows Berlin from the times of division. Since then, he has explored the urban and natural spaces of Berlin and its surroundings both professionally and privately.
For Thomas Fischer outdoor activities and movement through nature are important to connect with his self and the world around him. Therefore, he supports outdoor activities at Village and brings 20 years of experience in exploring Berlin and Brandenburg to the programme.
As a health professional he is passionate about the interplay between mind, body and social connections. He believes that movement, curiosity and constant development are at the core of every human’s journey through life.
