Rund um den Großen Stechlinsee

The Stechlinsee is located in the north of Brandenburg in the nature park Stechlin-Ruppiner Land. It is one of the last large clear water lakes in northern Germany and at the same time the deepest lake in East Germany. The natural landscape around the Stechlinsee was designed especially by the last ice age. Today, natural waters, moors and bog forests combine to form a diverse landscape. Because of its natural wealth and its cultural importance, Stechlin and its surroundings were declared a nature reserve in 1938. Theodor Fontane's travelogues and his novel "Der Stechlin" still attract many visitors to the Mark Brandenburg today.Source: seen.de/grosser-stechlinsee

The road around the lake is inappropriate for ordinary, simple bicycles, as the trail is full of roots and rocks and partially fallen trees. This is probably a highlight for mountain bikers, but nothing for normal bikes.

Nice lap around the Stechlinsee with some lonely swimming spots. Partly challenging trails, more for MTB.
