Date: 6 September 2026
With Jorin and Fränzi
Meeting point: ca. 9:45 a.m., Gesundbrunnen station (All registered participants will receive the exact departure time and further details on the Friday evening before the hike).

Late-summer hike from Eichhorst along Lake Werbellinsee, approx. 6 or 13–14 km depending on the weather.

We will travel together to Eichhorst and start our hike at the historic lock. From there we will follow Werbellin Canal towards the Askanierturm before continuing along beautiful, mostly natural paths beside Lake Werbellinsee to Altenhof.

Werbellinsee is one of Brandenburg's deepest and clearest lakes. Its turquoise water offers unusually good visibility in places and hides more than a few secrets: according to legend, the town of Werbellow lies submerged beneath the lake, while archaeological discoveries have in fact revealed old oak piles and the remains of a medieval settlement or fortified structure beneath the water. And somewhere near Altenhof there may even be another mysterious message in a bottle from “Moscow, 1962”, like the one recovered from the depths during one of our previous expeditions …

If we are lucky enough to have warm late-summer weather, we will take an extended break at the public swimming area in Altenhof, with plenty of time for swimming, a picnic and relaxing beside the lake.

Along Altenhof's small lakeside promenade, with its almost Mediterranean atmosphere, there are also several opportunities for refreshments: the Alte Fischerei serves, among other things, excellent fish sandwiches from its own smokehouse, and nearby you can find ice-cream specialities, coffee and cake.

In good swimming weather, the hike to Altenhof will be approximately 6 km and take about two hours at a leisurely pace, leaving us plenty of time to enjoy the lake.

If the weather is too cold for swimming and a longer stay by the water, we will continue from Altenhof along the eastern shore towards Joachimsthal. This longer version will be approximately 13–14 km and take around 3½ to 4 hours.

We will mainly be walking on forest trails and natural lakeside paths. The first section from Eichhorst to Altenhof is fairly straightforward. Beyond Altenhof, parts of the trail become narrower, uneven and somewhat steeper, so sturdy footwear and some sure-footedness are recommended for the longer version.

We will decide together when to take breaks along the way. Which version we choose will depend on the weather: a late-summer day of hiking, swimming and relaxing by the lake, or a longer autumn hike along Lake Werbellinsee.

Ticket: When registering, please indicate whether you would like to use 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!

Coaches: Bo (er/keine), Lee (dey/they), Jorin-Bille (dey/they), Lindsay (keine/none they) and Fränzi (du/thou/they)
We are a group of TIN people who have regularly taken part in Nora's walks in recent years. This offer means a lot to us and we would therefore like to continue it together. See more from us 

Nora (she) organized a hike almost every month from 2020 to the end of 2024. Thank you for this wonderful time, thank you for your work!

Der Herbst: bunt, abwechslungsreich und gleichzeitig introspektiv und besinnlich. Und es ist die perfekte Jahreszeit, durch Bernaus diverse Landschaften zu schlendern. Über eine kurze Wanderstrecke durch Wald, Wiese und Acker werden wir zehn Baumarten näher kennenlernen – und aus einst rätselhaften, grünen Gestalten werden treue Wegbegleiter für das Leben. Durch diese ganzheitliche Erforschung verbinden wir uns tiefer mit unserer Umgebung – und mit uns selbst – und gewinnen dabei Schritt für Schritt mehr Sicherheit und Autonomie in der Natur.

Autumn. It’s bright and refreshing, yet moody and contemplative. And it is the perfect time of year for a stroll through Bernau’s diverse landscapes. On a short tour though forests, meadows, and fields, we’ll get to know ten trees up close and in person. Over the course of the afternoon, the invisible “greenery” of the landscape will gradually gain clarity and focus, and individual plants will transform into loyal 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 trees utilizing different sensory exercises

• A little wild snack (vegan) for the journey

• Nature connection activities

• PDF with plant profiles 

• Time spent with friendly people

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