Devil's Lake (Bad Freienwalde)

Highlight • Lake

A nice spot for a short break from hiking. Jump in briefly and cool off. In the middle there is a small island that invites you to swim towards it.

A very nice hike. Sturdy shoes are essential. Long trousers are a good idea between Bismarck Tower and Falkenberg. You will need a machete for the path overgrown with blackberries. 😉

In fact, it was 15 km! Uphill and downhill. But very nice hiking trails in very beautiful forests, easy to walk, but sturdy shoes are necessary and small heights have to be overcome.

Always a nice hike. Tickets for all four towers cost 6 euros, available at each tower. Walking time with breaks is approx. 6:30 hours.

That's how quickly you can get a diploma!😁

I've been to the area around Bad Freienwalde several times and have walked sections of the tower hiking trail every now and then. On one of the hikes, the idea came up that you could do the diploma.
As the timing was good today, I made a stopover in Bad Freienwalde.

A great day. It was beautiful, but exhausting. We climbed quite a few meters today.
We successfully climbed all 4 towers today for the tower diploma.
Now it's time to rest

The tower hiking trail connects a total of 4 towers and several viewing points over a distance of 17km. There are some decent climbs and I was pretty out of breath 😅 we started from Falkenberg/Mark. If you come by car like us, you can park for free near the train station.
If you want, you can buy a ticket …

A quite demanding but also varied tour awaited us. The tower hiking trail connects a total of 4 towers and some viewpoints over 17km. Our goal was to obtain the tower diploma. To do this, you can purchase the tower card at the first tower and have it stamped. You pay €6 for all towers. These are open on weekends …

It is always nice to hike in the small "low mountain range" that the ice age pushed together. This time along the tower hiking trail with the ascent of the 4 towers around Bad Freienwalde and the acquisition of the tower diploma. The tour komoot.de/tour/1515070643?ref=atd by @Simone inspired me to do this. I already knew the Bismarck Tower when it …
