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. Source https://www.dahme-heideseen-naturpark.de/themen/routen-touren/rundweg-um-die-paetzer-seen/

The Pätzer Vordersee is an approximately 1.7 km² large body of water inBestensee, Dahme-Spreewald district. It is part of the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park and the conservation area of the same name. The lake is part of the Dahme river system. It has a connection to the Pätzer Hintersee in the south and to the Todnitzsee in the north via the Glunze. The sluice between Vordersee and Todnitzsee was replaced by a modern weir with a weir and a fishway, as the Pätz chain of lakes is to be made passable again for migratory fish. There is no connection to Lake Tonsee to the north-east. To the south of the Pätzer Vordersee lies the district of Pätz in the municipality of Bestesee and north-west of the town center ofBestensee. Federal highway 179 runs to the east, federal highway 246 to the north, and federal highway 13 and the Berlin–Görlitz railway run to the west. The maximum depth is 16.2 m.
