Today a hike with Beate and Frank from Hönow

Today we went on a hike through the rustic Grumsin beech forest. If you want to experience beautiful trees and want to go on a really well laid out hiking route, this is the place for you. It is an experience to walk past these old trees, to touch small areas of bog and then to emerge from this unspoilt …

The Grumsin was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its beech forests that have been uncultivated for decades. Our hike was not allowed to lead through the core zone, but the fascination of untouched, wild forests in the hilly moraine landscape does not leave us cold either.

Wonderful hike through the UNESCO World Heritage Gumsiner Buchenwald. A recommendation for every hiker! But don't forget anti-mosquito spray!!
