On another sunny June day, Francesco, his flatmate, and I decided to go on a hike close to Berlin. We picked an area close to Fürstenberg/Havel which we reached quickly after taking a train from the city center. Once there we got on a bus and shortly after reached the village of Neuglobsow. We started our hike from there which initially took us to the bank of the Großer Stechlinsee, a large lake with a maximum depth of 69.5 meters, making it the deepest lake in the State of Brandenburg. We first stopped at the small beach close to the village where already some people were enjoying the warmth and sun of the day taking a swim in the rather crystal clear of the lake. From that point, we started following a path that led us westwards following the lake's bank. The path continued through a nice deciduous forest made up of tall lush beech trees as well as oaks and some pines too. We followed the path enjoying the beautiful nature surrounding us. Walking as so for a few hours we then decided to stop to take a break admiring the striking colors of the lake's water and enjoying our lunch which we had brought with us from home. Eventually, after walking nearly the whole perimeter of the lake, we left the water behind us, hiking slightly uphill through a mostly pine forest to reach the smaller lake, Peetschsee. Here we followed its southern bank through another nice forest path until we reached a small beach on its eastern bank. We stopped there, where a young couple from Berlin was also hanging out, and decided to have a swim in the nice water. The temperature was rather warm and swimming quite enjoyable. After a nice break drying out in the sun where I think all three of us fell asleep at one time, we then got back on the track. We walked a little further into the forest, covering the last few kilometers along the southern bank of yet another lake, Röblinsee before eventually reaching the town of Fürstenberg. Here we eventually caught the train that would bring us back to Berlin after a nice successful 25km hike.
