I appreciate the train station as a starting point for hikes. Particularly recommended are the hiking trail on Bretterschen Graben, the path on Flakensee to Woltersdorf, hikes to Wupatzsee, Heidereutersee, Kranichberg with observation tower and museum, along the Löcknitz to Fangschleuse and Hangelsberg and to Dämeritzsee.
