At this point, you're definitely not looking at Lake Schermützelsee, but rather at an information board "At a Glance" or at the Buckow town map. Both of them do, however, show Lake Schermützelsee. However, if you walk a few meters further west, the lake comes into view.

Here in the Märkische Schweiz Nature Park, you can experience a unique landscape shaped by the last Ice Age. Here, you'll find steep gorges, rolling hills, clear lakes, and moors formed by glaciers and meltwater. Nature is impressively diverse: You can discover rare plants like orchids, observe birds like cranes, and hike in ancient mixed forests or along the lowland river Stobber. Particularly worth seeing are the Rotes Luch fen with its wet meadows and Schermützelsee, a clearwater lake with exceptional visibility. The region is a paradise for nature lovers and offers numerous protected areas that provide a habitat for rare species such as otters and freshwater mussels. Tip: For those seeking adventure, there are Kneipp water treading areas where you can revitalize your circulation, and hikes through drainage channels with mystical names like "Schwarze Kehle" (Black Throat) or "Langer Grund" (Langer Grund).
