From here, you have a beautiful view of Lake Baasee. Head south to the parking lot of the Baasee Inn, and then head north up the first hill.

Small roofed hut with a great view of Lake Baasee. Ilse is the poor charcoal burner's daughter from the legend "The Sunken Chapel in Lake Baasee."

Here, you can start hikes in many directions. For example, the Siebenhügelweg trail to Bad Freienwalde begins here. It's very busy on weekends, though. The Baaseeschenke is right next door.

Running down the slope is definitely more challenging than climbing it. Branches, fallen trees, narrow footholds, and slippery leaves, all at high speed, require surefootedness. In any case, it's a lot of fun to tumble down here 🤣 The path is called "Steep Path S2."

A small staircase on the Seven Hills Trail. At the foot of the staircase stands a stone pyramid. The start/end point of the Seven Hills Trail is not far away.

The Bad Freienwalde fountain chapel, built in 1887 in the neo-Gothic style and extensively restored in 1993, offers a great view over the spa complex in the Brunnental. Several paths lead off from here.
