Just take a quick breath of fresh air: The short, 3 kilometre circular trail around the idyllic Sidowsee lake in Himmelpfort is particularly suitable for a "short excursion in between". The trail runs close to the wooded shore of the natural lake, which is part of a group of interconnected lakes in Himmelpfort and is located in the Uckermark Lakes Nature Park.

Route description:

The starting point of the hike is the Zur Hasenheide car park, right next to the Himmelpforter Chocolaterie. The hiking trail is marked with square-shaped markings. The background is white and there is a yellow line in the centre. The path leads into the forest at the end of the car park. After a short time, you reach a tarmac section that leads through residential areas. At the end of the weekend houses, the path leads down to the lake and runs along there almost to the end of the circular route. During the hike, you can observe a wide variety of flora and fauna. The hiking trail runs along the road for a while before returning to the car park and the starting point.
