Theodor Fontane Trail – Forest Poetry Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful shore path along the Flakensee. Wide and level enough for prams, it is very easy to walk here. In parts, the path leads in the shade of the forest, …

The Rüdersdorfer Kalkberge used to be where there is now a large hole with heavy machinery to mine the limestone. The scratches and abrasion marks on this very rock were …

August 1, 2022,Von Erkner nach Rüdersdorf (Museumspark)

A beautiful and interesting tour. Can only recommend a visit to the museum park!
Unfortunately the sun let me down today, pictures with a blue sky are always nicer. But the weather was perfect for hiking.

September 19, 2023,Von Erkner über Flakensee, Woltersdorfer Schleuse und Kalksee nach Rüdersdorf

A well-known and very popular tour, but I have not yet walked it with the Potsdam hiking group. In the best hiking weather and the clear water of the Kalksee, three women also went swimming.
On the subsequent path on the very loud main street in Rüdersdorf, which Komoot recommended, there might be a nicer alternative. The last little look …

September 20, 2023,Von Erkner nach Tasdorf

Today we hiked from Erkner to Rüdersdorf (Tasdorf). From Erkner to the Rüdersdorf motorway bridge, I largely followed tour 16 (From Rüdersdorf to Erkner) of the Rother hiking guide -Around Berlin, 4th edition-. Just in the opposite direction. I left this tour about 500m before the planned destination in Rüdersdorf and walked across the old cemetery towards the museum park, …

July 6, 2024,Kalksteintagebau Rüdersdorf, Kessel- und Kalksee, Woltersdorfer Schleuse, Flakensee; ab TRAM 88 Rü Markt, an S-Bf Erkner

We set off in summery weather on the panoramic open-cast mine edge to the rather overgrown Kesselsee. After a bit of a suburban feel, we head back along the shores of the Kalksee and Flakensee in the shade, with bathing opportunities, vehicles and all kinds of swimming toys being happily used. We are greeted by the brewery's beautiful beer garden …

April 11, 2026,Kalksee, Woltersdorf und Rüdersdorf ☀️ (Runde ab Erkner)

Exploration tour in the best spring weather at the Rüdersdorfer Gewässer east of Berlin. Sunbeams flooded the forest, where the first tender green leaves are sprouting and unfolding. The route offers two lake shores with charming footpaths (Flachsee, Kalksee), in between canal-like but pleasant extensions of the Löcknitz and the Rüdersdorfer Fließ. The Woltersdorf lock with its outdoor seating is …

Whitsun tour from Erkner S-Bahn station, technology, film and nature highlights. A tour also had to be this weekend. We are in Berlin because of tomorrow's concert in the MB Arena. That's why we stayed in Fredersdorf in Berlin's commuter belt. After the Carnival of Cultures, we should go back into nature today. I looked for the tour at @Frank …

February 25, 2024,Erkner - Woltersdorf - Rüdersdorf

This hike is definitely one of my absolute favorite tours: From Erkner the Fontaneweg (forest poetry path) to Woltersdorf and further along the Kalksee to Rüdersdorf. The way back then takes the “7-hill(chen) path” over the crane tower and back to Erkner.
