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.

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Märkische Schweiz region, Buckow is an idyllic town in eastern Brandenburg. Known for its natural beauty and inspiring atmosphere, Buckow has always attracted artists, writers, and nature lovers. The area surrounding Buckow invites visitors to enjoy long hikes and explorations. With its clear waters and dense forests, the nearby Schermützelsee lake offers an oasis of peace and relaxation. Picturesque hiking trails lead to hidden viewpoints that offer breathtaking vistas across the entire region.

Just a few kilometers east of Berlin, you'll find yourself immersed in the idyllic Märkische Schweiz Nature Park. Brandenburg's smallest large protected area offers a perfect backdrop for fantastic hikes. The approximately 20-kilometer-long nature park route features valleys, gorges, and hills, water and near-primeval forest, meadows and moors, fascinating stories of legends and myths, geology and nature conservation, as well as hidden natural swimming spots. Elevation changes that challenge even experienced hikers alternate with magical places to pause and breathe deeply.
