The solid log cabin at Lake Papillensee, along with a table and benches, invites you to take a short break. In good weather, a jetty and a small swimming area provide unobstructed access to the lake.

Beautiful, natural circular hiking trail around the Großer and Kleiner Klobichsee lakes. Signposted as "Großer Rundwanderweg um den Klobichsee" (yellow dot on a white background). Quaint & beautiful... The campsite is a good starting/ending point, where there is also a small, simple snack bar and restrooms. The beautiful beach is also highly recommended. Despite the summer holidays, we were alone on the circular hike... Wonderfully quiet and enchantingly beautiful.

The name itself sounds like a verse: Poetensteig (Poet's Trail). As if a hiking-boot-wearing Rilke had proclaimed it on a weekend trip. Indeed, this path lies north of Buckow and winds its way, a good 8 kilometers long, through a landscape that can't decide whether it wants to be Brandenburg or a poem. It goes up and down, as befits a path that leads through terminal moraines and meltwater gullies – specifically: over the Dachsberg and through the Wolfsschlucht (Wolf's Gorge). Märkische Schweiz lives up to its name. Here, beech trees bend over root-rich paths, mossy tree ruins lean against history, and somewhere in between, a mouse rustles, perhaps just the echo of a thought. The Silberberg isn't just called that because the light there sometimes shimmers like metal through the leaves. If you listen closely, you might hear the quiet gurgling of the Silberkehle (Silver Throat), a spring valley that later, quite unpretentiously, flows into the Großer Tornowsee (Great Tornow Lake). The lake itself remains in the background – a silent stage on which no drama is played out, except that of one's own thoughts. And although everything here is natural – from the roots to the distant view – the Poetensteig seems as if it were selected by human hands, almost curated, with a dramatic sense of light, foliage, and slowness. A path that knows no hurry and needs none.

We were still talking about dunes in Brandenburg... and suddenly we were standing in front of one. Look at that.
