Description
Village Outdoor – Circular route around the Spring- and Glubigsee near Wendisch-Rietz
with Harms Wulf and Thomas Fischer
In August, we’ll head out of the city once more and into the heathland and lake district of eastern Brandenburg near Wendisch Rietz.
On this varied circular hike, we’ll explore a chain of elongated lakes in the Behrensdorfer Heide. The quiet and, at times, very secluded trail follows the wooded shores of Lake Springsee and Lake Großer Glubigsee, for much of the route, offering beautiful views of the surrounding nature. Along the way, we’ll also pass through an interesting wet woodland area, a valuable ecosystem that plays an important role in climate protection and nature conservation.
And if the weather is on our side, the many lakeside bathing spots invite us to enjoy a refreshing swim or simply relax by the water.
As there are no guaranteed places to stop for food or drinks along the route, please bring enough food and water for the day.
Since we’ll be walking through woodland and wetland areas, it’s also a good idea to bring an effective insect repellent.
