June 3, 2023,Ruppiner Schweiz. Rundwanderung um Kalksee und Tornowsee
Today in Ruppiner Switzerland. A rather leisurely hike. It was about the Kalksee and the Tornowsee. Starting from the very sleepy town of Binenwerder, we set off. Unfortunately, the path usually stays a bit away from the lake and you have more of a forest hike. A very beautiful forest and pleasant to walk forest paths. In between, a very …

The Binenbach Valley can really only be explored on foot. Wonderful. A natural forest is supposed to grow here again. We had fun climbing over and under the trees lying across the path.

On this weekend excursion we stayed at the Rottstielfließ campsite ... I can recommend the site ... small, very quiet, idyllic and with a beautiful access to the Tornowsee, despite families with children

We are following in Fontane's footsteps through the Mark Brandenburg - today around the Kalksee, the northernmost lake in the Ruppin waters. Binenwalde is located right next to the lake. This village got its name from the beautiful forester's daughter Sabine (📸 1️⃣5️⃣), who is said to have had a liaison with Crown Prince Friedrich (Frederick the Great)😉.
The final …

Finally no rainy day was announced, so let's get out! Destination: The Kalksee - in summer a bathing lake with crystal-clear, cold water, now in winter it is quiet, calm and inviting for hiking. First you pass the "beautiful Sabine", past the manor house, past a few lonely cattle and then you dive into the circular path along the water. …

In fresh temperatures with my fellow pilgrim Frank, a large lake tour around the Kalksee and the Tornowsee from the Tierpark Kunsterspring, with a stop at the recommended excursion restaurant Boltenmühle am Binenbach.

That would have been too easy... For a Sunday afternoon tour, I wanted to walk around the Kalksee and Tornowsee lakes and check out the Boltenmühle and the Binenbach stream. That was the plan. At first, it went wonderfully. After I headed to the large parking lot in Binenwalde, the walk began with a village tour and a detour to …

Today, at the start of our preparatory phase of our Way of St. James in Spain (Camino Primitivo) this year, we were traveling around the Tornowsee and Kalksee in Ruppiner Switzerland. With a short stopover in the Boltenmühle, we traveled a total of 20 km in relatively cool weather without sunshine. For the first time also with the backpack, which …
