Circular route around the Pätz lakes

The circular route around the Pätzer Vordersee and Hintersee is a little over 16 kilometers long. It's a trail for all seasons. The start and finish is at the train station “Bestensee”. The path leads along the main road fromBestensee to Pätzer Vordersee and on to Pätz with its historic village green. The place name comes from the Slavic and means something like sand.

From here we continue into pure nature! A hundred years ago, the hillsides on the east bank of the Pätzer Hintersee were almost free of forest. A few junipers bear witness to the sparse heathland that once existed here. The lowlands with wet meadows are preserved with the support of landscape conservation. On the southern shore of the Pätzer Hintersee there are large moor areas that have been secured as a nature reserve.

The path now leads north. An idiosyncratic pine forest with crooked trees is called Schweinewinkel. This is where the pigs used to be driven into the forest to the Waldwiede. Walking through the Pätz Hintersee settlement, you return to the starting point at the train station.

A nice hike overall, but the sandy paths were challenging to walk on.

Swimming opportunities are available.

March 20, 2022,NSG Pätzer Hintersee – Pätzer Vordersee, Runde von Bf Bestensee (RB 24)

Beautiful and varied Sunday tour around the Pätzer Vordersee and Hintersee.
Basically well signposted with the yellow dot. We made a few detours - on the west bank in the fishing settlement some private roads are closed; Compensation for this on the east bank on rustic paths through broken wood along the lake shore!
Here and there some unavoidable lengths …

A hike by Frank Meyer, which I was unfortunately unable to do, inspired me to start the tour:
komoot.de/tour/747456139

The start and finish is at the train station in Bettensee. Easily accessible with the regional train from Berlin-Ostkreuz. You walk briefly through the village in the direction of Pätzer Vordersee. It goes a bit in a southerly direction along the …

Hello,
In @Frank Meyer's post, I mentioned exporting Komoot tours to your own server.
In his post, Frank shares his thoughts on the acquisition of Komoot by Bending Spoons.

Subsequently, several users asked me to post instructions for hosting 'Wanderer' on your own server. You can find the relevant links in the third comment. First, a few explanations.

May 2, 2024,Tour 31 - 33 Wanderungen zwischen Oder, Spree und Elbe

From the book Paul Gerhardt Trail - apart from the tour itself, there are I think 10 circular routes along the way. Today we did tour 3 - Silence and Idyll -. I've actually already done a hike by the Pätzer lakes, where I only touched on them. So today I walked around both of them completely. The route is …

Bille, Nick, Nicky, Olivia and the dog Ruby and I enjoyed the really wonderful and warm late summer Sunday weather together on the always beautiful lap around the Pätzer Lakes. I'm a little worried that Olivia might not enjoy hiking quite as much as us long-legged old people or furry four-legged friends. She had previously been promised a walk of …

April 24, 2022,Runde um Pätzer Vorder- und Hintersee (ab/bis Bhf. Bestensee)

The round follows the yellow dot, deviating from the official route only on the east bank of the Hintersee. Be sure to watch out for the junction, otherwise you will miss the beautiful path that runs a little closer to the lake. Because of the otherwise relatively wide and swampy shoreline, you rarely hike directly along the shore. An exception …
