A very easily navigable but also very busy forest path.

Lovely sandy beach with a sunbathing area... There's even a small platform in the lake with a slide.

The pretty hiking trail mostly leads directly along the lake... benches invite you to linger along the way.

There's a bench on the small jetty where you can enjoy the lovely view of the Küchensee lake... next to the jetty is a small beach. A perfect opportunity to cool your feet after a hike.

Located on the Wakenitz River, this canoe rental station offers a variety of boats for rent. There's also a small cafe, a camping area, sleeping barrels, and small cabins for overnight stays. It's also a great place to stop overnight during a cycling trip. Info: https://www.kanu-center.de/wakenitz-camp/
