Around the Peetschsee

We already had this tour in our programme in June and it is offered as a combination of hiking and swimming. Located near Fürstenberg/Havel, Peetschsee is a large bathing lake surrounded by forest with good water quality. We start in Fürstenberg/Havel and hike along the Röblinsee to Steinförde, from where we head to the northern shore of the Peetschsee and on to the southern shore, where there are numerous small bathing bays. On the way back to Fürstenberg, you have the option of stopping off at the Winterfeldt ice cream parlour in Steinförde. They serve soft ice cream there - it tastes really good.

Route length approx. 22 km

Ticket: When registering, please indicate whether you need the Berlin-Brandenburg-Ticket.

Bring a dog is possible.

Remarks: For all those who are thinking about participating for the first time, but are not sure whether the offer is suitable for them: please contact us in this regard via a note in the registration form. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have or provide you with more information about the schedule.
There is also the possibility to meet with one of us a little earlier, directly before the hike.
On the hike itself, we have a buddy program: participants who have been on the hike many times before will be there if needed to help you get settled into the group.
We welcome participation from anyone on the TIN spectrum, no matter where they are on it!

Coacher: Nora (70), Transwoman, board member of TransInterQueer e.V. For more than 10 years I have been travelling in Brandenburg and have got to know fascinating landscapes through my numerous hikes. I would like to pass on my rich knowledge and experience within the framework of a hiking group. I would like my fascination to be contagious. See more about Nora...

Autumn. It’s bright and refreshing, yet moody and contemplative. Some plants are busy planning for the next generation by spreading their seeds through colorful, sweet, or spiky fruits while others are just getting into the swing of things and gearing up for a late – or a second – spring. It’s the ideal time of year to get to know all the wonderful facets of our regional flora and spend an afternoon together outdoors.

During our 3-hour walk, we’ll utilize all our senses to get to know the plants we meet along the way. Over the course of the afternoon, the invisible “greenery” of the landscape will gradually gain clarity and focus, and individual plants will become new and fascinating botanical companions. By engaging in a holistic exploration of our environment, we’ll develop a deeper connection to our region and ourselves – and build confidence and autonomy in outdoor spaces.

What you can look forward to:

• Introduction to and identification of ten plants with different sensory exercises

• A few wild snacks (vegan/vegetarian) for the journey

• General tips and rules for foraging and preparing wild foods

• Nature connection activities

• PDF with plant profiles and tips on nature connection and holistic health

• A little gift from us to take home with you

• Time spent with friendly people

We’ll be walking on both paved roads and unpaved paths along fields and meadows. Please wear sturdy shoes and dress for the weather. Bring along enough water and a little snack for the road.

Devin (he/they) is trained in plant science communication and co-founded the company finding nature together with his partner and health coach, Doro. Devin was born in the United States and has lived in Germany since 2005. “For me, as a queer person, plants are endlessly fascinating. The plant kingdom contains organisms that embrace every imaginable lifecycle and physiology. Plants are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for me, and at the same time, they serve as steadfast companions on every walk I take. I’m honored to be able to share my love of plants and enthusiasm for nature connection through OUT*side. Our shared goal is to help people develop – or strengthen – their connection to and confidence in nature.” More about Devin here!

Doro (she/her) is a medical herbalist in training and an expert in nature connection work and holistic health. Doro is particularly fascinated by modern herbal medicine and research into epigenetics. She is currently completing additional courses in both of these fields. “I’m always amazed at how strongly lifestyle and environmental factors affect our genes, and ultimately, our health. A lot of the time, all it takes is a few changes to our daily routines for us to feel better, stronger, happier, and more focused and relaxed. And that, in turn, has a positive effect on every aspect of our lives.”
Together with OUT*side, Doro wants to help show others in the community how to lead healthy lives in step with nature – even in a modern, urban setting.
