Forest trail by Schmachter See

Highlight • Trail

Very beautiful forest paths around the Schmachter See. The direct circumnavigation of the lake is not possible due to nature conservation. But you can experience a little bit of the "inside" of the island

October 14, 2024,Rundwanderung Schmachter See
Hello, dear hiking friends!

We are making rapid progress towards the MegaMarch... so today is the last major tour:

The circuit around the Schmachter Lake starts for me at the small train station in Binz - if you also want to hike the circuit, you can also park for free at the turning point in Serams.

The Schmachter See is the "house lake" of Binz and has a beautiful promenade with a platform on which free wooden deck chairs are available to relax.

But that was the best thing about my lap!
It's a bicycle route, a lot of asphalt, you have to walk along a busy country road (I didn't feel like doing it anymore …

Planned for a long time, finally done. The round around the Schmachter See. Running anti-clockwise was the right decision today. On the way, as others have noticed, suddenly a fence is planted on the signposted hiking trail and the path is planted with trees. One of the others probably didn't know anything, or should one even suspect something bad? It …

The tour was unplanned. Actually, I wanted to ambush the bird world photographically. But the weather turned. In a touch of ignorance, I decided to circumnavigate the lake with the wrong clothes and too heavy luggage. Conclusion: There is no path near the shore around the lake. This path is only available within the Binz area. If you survive the …

On the last day of our vacation we hiked around the Schmachtener See. Through Fangerien, Pantow, Serams. Attention, the hiking trail to Schmacht, which is signposted at Komoot and at the signposts, suddenly ends at a chain link fence. A whole piece of forest including the path was plowed and reforested. You have to walk this stretch off-road!
Finally, a …

"If you're in Binz, there's the Schmachter See. I think you can walk around it."

Conclusion: Yes, you can.

The circular route was longer than expected. On the main road I managed to get out of the bottleneck quite a bit - what traffic! So I installed a field detour. And that was really good! 👍

Showing Translation

A complete circuit is not recommended, because from Serams to Pantow it goes along the B 196 without a footpath and then I walked a bit off-road through the forest. 🤷‍♀️ Until there was a path again at some point... at the end I was briefly on Binz beach and bang, half a Littlemammut came together. 😅
