The best running trails around Pätzer Hintersee

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.

Perfect for a break

The 461 hectare FFH area Pätzer Hintersee corresponds in its delimitation to the NSG of the same name except for small deviations in the east. It is located southeast of Bestensee and southwest of Pätz. In the west, the protected area borders on the Berlin-Cottbus railway line. The protected area includes the entire water and bank silting moor area of the Pätzer Hintersee with extensive lowland forests, intermediate moorland and reed beds. In the south there is the Merkhorst, an elevation planted with mixed deciduous forest. In the peripheral areas there are extensively used grassland areas. In the transition area from the grassland lowlands to the wooded slopes as well as on individual small knolls there are small sand dry lawns and dry edges. The core areas of the protected area include the lime-rich silting moor areas with small sedge and flat moor meadows that adjoin the water and reed areas of the Hintersee in the southwest. Willow bushes form the transition areas between the silting bog areas and the wet meadows. Formations of rich to poor wet meadow areas alternate with tall herbaceous areas.

From here you can take a very nice boat tour. It is also very cheap.

Also ideal to take a break
