Hike from Hangelsberg to Erkner (10/09/2023)

On another early september sunny weekend, Francesco, Ania, and I decided to go for a hike close to Berlin. We reached the station of Hangelsberg and from there started walking westwards. The way was easy and flat through mostly planted pine forests. After several kilometers of walking we eventually reached the beach at the Peetzsee lake. Here we found a bench in the shade and ate the lunch we had brought along with us. There were quite some people laying on the sand and swimming, and while the other two sat on the bench I decided to take a swim. The water was nice clear and not cold and was quite pleasant. Once back outside I dried out a bit and then we were off to hike again. We followed the lakeside for a bit and then walked on a bridge crossing over a canal connecting the Peetzsee to the Werlsee. On the other side we entered the small town of Grünheide and decided to stop at the Heydewirt am Peetzsee Restaurant and Kiosk right by the lakeside. We sat down and ordered a piece of cake to enjoy as dessert. Bakc on track, we left the town and followed the southern lakeside of the Werlsee. Not long after we entered and passed through the hamlet of Fangschleuse and then continued on some more through a nice forest, now mixed with deciduous trees. We followed the Löcknitz river, passing by a minor lake, the Wupatzsee, but rather more of a swampy large pond. Eventually we came out of the forest and in sight of buildings. We had then reached Erkner and its station from where we eventually got a train into Berlin.
