At this point, the hiker has the most beautiful view over the Briesensee. It has a very low water level today, so you can go far into the lake area.

This extensive marshland has its own magic. Further back, swans frolic. If an eagle were flying here, it would certainly be no great surprise. From the path, it is quite possible to overlook the entire lake or look very far back, but one should choose a time free of foliage for it.

The lake is located within the 'NSG Poratzer Moränenlandschaft' nature reserve. Swimming and overnight stays are therefore not permitted.

Lake Briesensee is a jewel set in a secluded, enchanting forest landscape. Unfortunately, it is struggling immensely with desiccation. The shoreline is widening so rapidly from year to year that maps still show water where land has long since formed. What made the area so enchanting was the wide strip of sandy beach. The view is absolutely magnificent, but now all sorts of plants and grasses are overgrowing the former beach. - In 2025, you suddenly see an island rising out of the water, whereas in 2024 there was still a headland, also recently formed within about a year. I walked over it myself. Apparently, the water level rose a bit again due to the heavy rain, so the headland (diagonally opposite the "beach") has now completely disappeared. - Observation status: September 2025. Everything here is really very exciting! You should also take a closer look at the animal tracks on the shore. There's really something to discover there. Fish repeatedly jump out of the water, hopefully not due to a lack of oxygen. It's hardly just for fun. Whether catching insects as food is worthwhile for the fish remains doubtful, but it could also be the reason.

And the further you go in, the deeper you sink into the mud. Unfortunately, there's no swimming here.

All the ways here are long, but the effort is definitely worth it. This extraordinary section of the path with its special atmosphere impresses with both the rustic trees along the side of the path and the views of Lake Diebelsee with its marshy swamp zone in front of it. We are here in the beech forest, interspersed with pine and spruce trees. Above the swampy depression, which stretches for several km at the back, we come across a thuja forest - another natural jewel. So two real highlights, apart from the very quiet forest environment, which makes a tour in this area an absolutely meditative experience.

A lake is still clearly visible here. The problem with all wetlands in Schorfheide and Uckermark is basically dryness. Many swamps actually silt up, but this one is still a long way from that, fortunately! The expression “dry siltation” bothers me, especially since nothing has silted up or fallen dry here!

A dried-up siltation, at some point there will no longer be a target to be seen here. It is worthwhile as an example of the constant change in nature
