A lovely view from above over a horse paddock to the lake... Benches invite you to linger.

A path leads down to a rest area at Blankensee Lake with somewhat limited visibility. Caution: From there, a well-trodden path runs westward. After a short while, it becomes increasingly lost and overgrown, finally ending at a viewing point. There are unofficial exits from this pasture, but it's best not to use the path at all, especially since the pasture is private, even if it hasn't been used as such for some time.

Beautifully located lake. Accessibility is severely limited.

You have to accept a piece of the road here, but you also have the only (?) Opportunity to get directly to the shore of the Blankensee.

Access to the lake by a small detour from the main road. (I believe there was a sign at the entrance to the small path saying no entry / only fire brigade ...)

"Trail" is rather an understatement for this wide forest path. It's certainly better than the parallel road, though. The right side of the path (to the southeast) is lined with wooded slopes, while to the left lies a wetland. Through the trees, you can catch glimpses of ponds and moorland lakes. (Of course, the path doesn't actually start in the pond, as marked on the map 😉) But the area has more to offer 😁 Twice, paths branch off to the right, leading to the slope on the southern shore of Lake Blankensee, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view and a short downhill trail. I would recommend this route over the end marked here. At the second of these junctions, a narrow path leads up along the edge of a field. (Sascha's picture shows its still quite wide beginning from the marked forest path.) And beyond that, keep your eyes peeled on the slopes 😉🤙🏻
