Angermünde - Bad Freienwalde - Bernau - Eberswalde - Oranienburg - Strausberg The Barnim Nature Park includes the West Barnim, parts of the Eberswalde glacial valley and the Havel lowlands. As a transnational large-scale protected area of ??Berlin and Brandenburg, it lies between the northern city limits of Berlin and the Schorfheide. Of the total area of ??750 square kilometers of the Barnim Nature Park, 5.4 percent are in Berlin. More than half of the nature park is forested. Due to the quite sandy soil, pine forests are to be found in particular. However, there are also other naturally occurring tree species, for example the Liepnitzsee is surrounded by beech forest and the Briesetal is home to alder swamp forests. Characteristic of the Barnim are the many ice-age lakes, rivers and swampy depressions. The Oberbarnim with its extensive forest areas was created in the last ice age period, around the 15th century. 000 before our era. End moraine arches up to 90 meters high were left behind. The meltwater collected in the depressions of the ground moraines. The cycle routes also lead through the Uckermärkische Seen and Märkische Schweiz nature parks, to the Schorfheide-Chorin biosphere reserve and to the Unteres Odertal national park. The area around Chorin is often referred to as the "pearl of Barnimer Land". At the crystal-clear Liepnitzsee, the forest pool invites you to jump into the cool water. Fontane already knew about the special charisma of the Werbellinsee: "It is a fairytale place where we sit, because we are sitting on the shore of the Werbellin." The wonderful location and the clear water of the lake attract thousands of visitors every year. In Wandlitz you should definitely visit the Barnim Panorama. Surrounded by clear lakes and old mixed forests, the traditional excursion and recreation spot is located in the heart of the Barnim Nature Park. The place is known above all because Erich Honecker and the former GDR celebrities had their domicile in the nearby "Waldsiedlung". Bad Freienwalde, the oldest spa and bathing resort in Mark Brandenburg, lies in the border area between the Oberbarnim forest hill country and the Oderbruch. Due to its location in the hilly surroundings, the city was called the "mountain city" by the poet Theodor Fontane. Strausberg, the green city on Straussee, has been the weekend destination of many Berliners for more than 100 years who wanted to relax in the forest and lake area.
