The small (88 m above sea level) and the large Weesenberg (91 m above sea level, also Wesenberg) are located on a ridge south of Grunow and above the Sophienfißes. From the south there is also a path up to the Kleiner Weesenberg. A residential area belonging to Grunow around the Waldhaus Grunow, consisting of dachas and bungalows, has developed in the "gorge" between the two mountains.

The forest in Märkische Schweiz is just beautiful. You can go hiking or biking there. One or the other tree can get in the way.

By Brandenburg standards, this is a beautiful and in places more demanding mountain bike ascent, which gets a little steeper towards the end. Unfortunately, there are some transverse trees from storm damage, which means that you often have to get off and sometimes have to push on because the climb is too steep to start again.
