If you walk/drive from south to north and you have passed the first water crossing, do not go straight ahead but immediately look to the right, where you have to use more tree trunks.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to get through by bike, so it is better to take a small detour

Also called the "summer path". Unfortunately, it's not that easy to get over the slippery tree trunks. You need a good sense of balance. The water was so high that it wasn't possible to get across. Alternatively, you can take the small detour around the pond - your feet will stay dry :)

The Maxsee, southwest of Hoppegarten in Müncheberg, is a real gem in the Brandenburg landscape. It covers 68 hectares, and if you want to stroll around it, you can be sure that there is a lot to discover. In summer, when the forest that almost completely surrounds the lake is lush green and the water glitters in the sun, the walk almost feels like a little vacation. Reed beds, rubble forest and swampy areas characterize the bank landscape. The Löcknitz - or as they say here, the Mühlenfließ - runs through the lake and gives the entire area its typical Brandenburg face. Not far from the bank is the “Neue Mühle” manor house. Historical and impressive, a little journey through time in the middle of the countryside. And while you're hiking, you can watch the anglers, engrossed, looking for perch, pike or even the odd carp. There's a lot of activity here at the weekend, but during the week you can really enjoy the lake and its tranquility. But it's not just nature that's a highlight here. The variety of fish is not without it. Perch, carp and pike, even pike-perch have already attracted anglers here. Sure, there's a lot of fishing going on at the weekend. But during the week you can choose your spot and fish in peace. One more thing: the islands in the middle of the lake? It's better to leave them alone. They belong to the birds and nature. But with a boat, without a motor of course, you can go for a little spin.

The beautiful Maxsee (formed in the Ice Age: in the mouth of a side valley of a meltwater channel), surrounded by beautiful forests, through which the Löcknitz flows, definitely a great bathing lake, is now used by dozens of cranes as a stopover in autumn. Lots of beaver tracks on the south side.
