A very impressive old oak tree, right next to the path. Diagonally opposite is a wonderful resting place with a good view of the forest landscape. Unfortunately, more and more of these giants, also known as "Hute-Eichen" (hunting oaks), are dying in the Schorfheide region.

There are no sidewalks or parking spaces in the village of Koldenhof. However, here at the far end, it's easy. From here, you can quickly reach the lake and use the path near the shore to reach the official bathing area. - Warning: Very idyllic!

Along the roadside, you'll see many stately Douglas firs. They have typical small cones with hairy tufts that lie everywhere on the ground. This is a distinctive feature, as is the bark of these magnificent trees. The wood serves as a valuable building material and is often used in garden structures. Arborvitae trees are nothing other than the well-known tree species "Thuja," which are usually planted as hedges. They occur in many places in nature, including in the Schorfheide and Uckermark regions. I know of several small groves consisting of them. You just have to look closely to be able to clearly identify these arborvitae trees!

An interesting building with a very special feel inside. Aside from the comfortable seating and plenty of room for a large number of people, the acoustics are strange. Sounds are practically muffled. You feel like you're deaf, but you can also enjoy the silence. It can also serve as a good shelter from the rain if the rest area at the front of the parking lot is already occupied.

It's beautifully situated with a view, and it's solidly built with a decent roof. It's definitely a great place to stop for a break, but it's quite close to the parking lot, so anyone coming from there certainly won't be tired at all!

The Heilige Hallen beech forest in the Feldberger Seenlandschaft Nature Park is a very special place. Here you can marvel at ancient beech trees that are up to 350 years old and over 50 meters tall. The forest resembles a Gothic cathedral, with its mighty trunks reminiscent of columns and the dense canopy of leaves reminiscent of a church roof. In this oldest beech forest in Germany, nature is allowed to develop almost undisturbed – deadwood is left lying and provides a habitat for many rare animals and plants. The Feldberger Seenlandschaft Nature Park also invites you to hike and experience nature with its clear lakes, rolling hills, and rare animals such as otters and sea eagles.
