Pilgrim Hike: Templin Loop (16.5 km) This pilgrimage follows the water. Setting out from the old town of Templin, we'll trace a chain of quiet lakes – the Templiner Stadtsee, Bruchsee, Fährsee, and Lübbesee – along shoreline paths that keep the water almost always in view. It's a gentle, unhurried day with room to pause, […]
Pilgrim Hike: Döberitzer Heide (21.5 km) Just west of Berlin lies the Döberitz Heath, a wide expanse of open grassland and wilderness that has grown wild again over the decades. This pilgrimage carries us across that landscape: big skies, quiet paths, and a rare density of life, with some 7,000 species of animals, fungi, and […]
Pilgrim Hike: Müncheberg to Buckow (13.5 km, optional 22 km) This pilgrimage leads us into the Märkische Schweiz – a small nature park of wooded hills, streams, and lakes that feels far removed from the flat land around Berlin. We'll follow the Stobber valley in silence for a stretch, letting the water and the trees […]
Pilgrim Hike: Premnitz to Rathenow (17 km) This pilgrimage begins right on the banks of the Havel before the trail turns inland, leading us up into the Premnitz hills and through long wooded stretches on the way to Rathenow. With a lake to swim in along the route, it's an unhurried autumn day between water […]
Pilgrim Hike: Neustadt (Dosse) to Kyritz (16.5 km) For this pilgrimage we follow an actual stretch of the Way of St. James – the ancient pilgrim route – as it runs through the Prignitz. We'll walk alongside the River Dosse and Lake Klempowsee, pass through the old towns of Wusterhausen and Kyritz, and share the […]
Pilgrim Hike: Strausberg to Großer Lattsee (16 km) This late-autumn pilgrimage stays close to Berlin yet quickly leaves it behind, following forest and field paths through the quiet country around Strausberg. We'll make our way to Lake Großer Lattsee and pass Wilkendorf manor along the loop back – a calm, contemplative day for the darker […]
Pilgrim Hike: Saarmund to Potsdam (14.5 km) This December pilgrimage brings us into Potsdam on foot through its wooded southern edge. We'll follow a stretch of the European long-distance trail and climb the Kleiner Ravensberg, at 114 metres the highest point in Potsdam, before descending into the city. A shorter, gentle walk for the cold […]
Pilgrim Hike: Basdorf to Mühlenbeck (10 km) A short winter pilgrimage on the northern edge of Berlin, this gentle walk leads us through quiet woods and along the Tegeler Fließ and past Lake Mühlenbecker See. At just ten kilometres it's an easy, unhurried day well suited to a calm December morning and a little room […]
Pilgrim Hike: Grunewald to Schlachtensee (11 km) This final pilgrimage of the year stays within Berlin itself, winding through the forests of the Grunewald and along its chain of lakes. We'll pass four of them on the way to the Schlachtensee. Bare winter woods, still water, and the quiet that settles over the city's edge […]
