The Waltersberge inland dune rises 36 meters above the northern shore of the Großer Storkower See (Great Storkow Lake). From here, there is a sweeping view across the lake and the surrounding landscape, shaped by the Ice Age. The dune is one of the largest of its kind in Brandenburg and is designated a natural monument. It provides habitat for rare plants and animals, including the antlion. Those who enjoy the breathtaking view from the inland dune can sense the special connection between nature, history, and landscape that characterizes the Oder-Spree lake district. It's a place that demonstrates how vividly Ice Age history can still resonate today.

The charming town of Storkow (Mark) is one of the oldest places in Brandenburg and is worth a visit any time of year. You can easily reach the town, which features a stork in its coat of arms, by public transport. Located directly on the shore of the large Storkow Lake, it is home to one of the oldest surviving castles in Brandenburg. This historic building, along with the old town itself, was built over 800 years ago.
