Far from the big city and yet right on your doorstep. The 66-lakes hiking trail leads through a total of 8 regional parks, 3 nature parks and past far more than 66 lakes. In the Oder-Spree Lake District, the trail starts in Leuenberg and leads to Strausberg, along the beautifully clear Straussee. The trail runs to the Stienitzsee, where there is a well-kept park and a viewing tower in the village of Hennickendorf. It continues past the Kalksee in Rüdersdorf and the Flakensee in Woltersdorf, until the trail leads through Erkner into the idyllic Löcknitztal. Following the course of the Löcknitz, the trail takes you from Klein Wall to the Spree. Along the Spree it goes to the cathedral city of Fürstenwalde and then towards Scharmützelsee. The trail leads past the Petersdorfer See to the spa town of Bad Saarow. You have now reached the "Märkisches Meer". After walking along the eastern shore of the Scharmützelsee, the path branches off to the Kleiner Kolpiner See and then runs to Storkow to the Großer Storkower See. You walk along the entire lake until you reach the Scharmützelsee again, this time the southern shore in Wendisch Rietz. Through the resort, you go to the Glubigsee with the Glubigseen chain, which you follow to the Neuendorfer See. The path finally ends in Leibsch.
