After arriving in Wendisch-Rietz by regional train, you head straight into the fragrant forest. A shortcut takes you after about a kilometer to the "Glubigsee circular path," which is marked with a yellow dot. The Great Glubigsee opens up. Here on the western shore, there is a special silence. An idyllic rest area offers a small bathing area. Perfect for cooling off in summer. It is quiet and safe for bathing here, as motorboats are not allowed on the Glubigsee. 

The path continues south along the edge of a restricted area for the German army. Don't worry about the warning signs - these are official paths! About halfway along, you cross a small canal that connects the Glubigsee with the Springsee. They are part of the Glubigseen chain of lakes here in the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park. You might spot fish like perch and rudd in the clear water. The Springsee also appears briefly and glitters between the trees.

There is a beautiful view from the benches and the jetty. A restaurant on a small peninsula is visible in the distance. Water lilies bloom on the water, fishing boats are moored at the jetty, and a house with a thatched roof is reminiscent of the Baltic Sea.
