On the shores of Lake Schermützel in Buckow lies a special cultural site: the Brecht-Weigel House. Surrounded by water, ancient trees, and quiet paths, the garden invites visitors to linger and picnic in a relaxed atmosphere. Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel lived and worked here – today, the complex is a place of inspiration, history, and tranquility. A place to discover, reflect, and enjoy.

The water sparkles in the sun, the lake shimmers first deep blue and clear, then a striking turquoise. But you are not on the Mediterranean, but on the enchanting Schermützelsee! On this relaxed half-day tour in the Märkische Schweiz Nature Park, you will be presented with all the advantages of this scenic gem: hiking trails through typical gorges that the last ice age cut into the slopes, fantastic views of the wooded hills, summer villas from the turn of the last century and then this lake, which will never fail to captivate you.

Buckower Köstlichkeiten and the Brecht-Weigel-Haus combine culinary delights, culture, and relaxing breaks in the heart of Buckow (Märkische Schweiz). Located in the vibrant town center, Buckower Köstlichkeiten is a unique blend of organic shop, café, and meeting place. Here you'll find arguably the best coffee in town and delicious, naturally sourced regional ingredients.

Just a short walk from the town center, the Brecht-Weigel House enjoys a peaceful location on the shores of Lake Schermützel, nestled between the water and hiking trails. For your outing, you can pick up a pre-prepared picnic basket here and enjoy it in the idyllic garden of the Brecht-Weigel House – either with seating or simply relaxing on a picnic blanket in the greenery.

On the western shore of Lake Schermützel, a popular viewpoint was created in the 1950s, which was an integral part of the historic spa and recreational landscape in Buckow from an early stage. Originally designed for spa guests, it still offers a breathtaking view across the water and the wooded shoreline. This favorite spot invites visitors to linger, perhaps while taking a walk around the lake.
