A nice hike overall, but the sandy paths were challenging to walk on.

March 20, 2022,NSG Pätzer Hintersee – Pätzer Vordersee, Runde von Bf Bestensee (RB 24)

Beautiful and varied Sunday tour around the Pätzer Vordersee and Hintersee.
Basically well signposted with the yellow dot. We made a few detours - on the west bank in the fishing settlement some private roads are closed; Compensation for this on the east bank on rustic paths through broken wood along the lake shore!
Here and there some unavoidable lengths …

June 11, 2025,Rundwanderung ab Bestensee

A relaxed hike with excellent signage.
This hike is recommended for those who want to stay close to civilization and enjoy a bench to linger on. The terrain varies from sand to gravel, wooded areas, and roads. Not suitable for bikes, but you'll meet lots of dogs.

Subsequently, several users asked me to post instructions for hosting 'Wanderer' on your own server. You can find the relevant links in the third comment. First, a few explanations.

Bille, Nick, Nicky, Olivia and the dog Ruby and I enjoyed the really wonderful and warm late summer Sunday weather together on the always beautiful lap around the Pätzer Lakes. I'm a little worried that Olivia might not enjoy hiking quite as much as us long-legged old people or furry four-legged friends. She had previously been promised a walk of …
