⚠️ The bridge is now half in the water. If you still want to get to the other side, you can jump over a few stones that have been laid out in the water (see picture).

I finally found time for a little hike. We went to the Briestal, probably one of the most beautiful places in Brandenburg.

A video was even made on the tour:

I experienced an impressive adventure in nature along the Briesetaler Steig, a hiking trail in the middle of a fascinating moorland landscape. The scene was characterized by dead trees that rose into the sky like matchsticks and gave the place a surreal atmosphere.

Briesetaler Steig is always a good alternative if, like me today, you don't want to make a long journey or travel long distances. Since I did the route in the morning, I had the Briese almost to myself today. Only at the very end did people show up sporadically 😊

A circular hike that is signposted directly from the Birkenwerder train station. In the shade of the trees you can look at the beautiful, mysterious and bizarre landscape.

October 17, 2024,Wanderung im Briesetal

This is a tour that I can only recommend to real nature lovers! A natural forest that looks almost like a primeval forest and in the middle of it all a river that can do whatever it wants (unless the beaver has something against it). Plus absolute peace and quiet. I've only ever seen something like this on the Schlaube. …
