Beautiful, large shelter with a separate room for firewood. Next to the shelter is a fire pit surrounded by benches. Perfect for a break!

Numerous trails branch off from the plateau, including to Lake Baasee, the Brunnentalweg trail to the mud bath, and many more. Thus, the hut, with its fireplace and fuel, not only offers shelter from the elements or in the event of an accident, but also usually welcomes people.

Definitely a must for a convivial stop. I have rarely experienced so much heart. And all this in front of an imposing, almost mystical backdrop. The Baasee and its tavern. Simply great.

The Waldschenke is always worth it. In summer you can sit outside, like at home on your sofa, in winter the host stokes the fireplace inside. And there are thousands of little things to discover on the grounds. There are even two bus stops; at least the signs are hanging.

The Thüringer Blick is a rest area and vantage point from which you have a great view of the surroundings of Bad Freienwalde. In terms of landscape, you really feel reminded of areas such as Thuringia from this vantage point. The Thuringian view is a beautiful destination for hikes and invites you to linger and rest.
