Winter magic at the legendary Baasee
A real highlight for nature lovers, hikers and connoisseurs is the round trip to Lake Baa and back to Bad Freienwalde, because Lake Baa has a very special charm in every season. Anyone standing on its shore should listen carefully. According to legend, there is a sunken chapel at the bottom of the lake, whose bells can be heard from the depths on particularly quiet days. When the lake freezes over and a blanket of snow covers the landscape, the surrounding area is transformed into a true winter wonderland. After a walk, the forest tavern invites you to warm up. The rustic restaurant has been serving hearty home-cooked food since 1972.
