## 🌲 Märkische Schweiz & Buckow Hi everyone! 👋 Our next hike takes us **east of Berlin into the beautiful Märkische Schweiz**, following the valley of the Stobber and exploring a wonderfully varied landscape of **fields, forests, moors and lakes**. We’ll start in **Müncheberg** and walk through a small village and open fields before heading into the forest and moorland. Along the way, we’ll pass the **Großer Klobichsee**, continue through another stretch of moor and forest, and eventually reach **Tornowsee**. From there, we’ll make our way towards our final destination: the picturesque little town of **Buckow**. We should arrive in Buckow around **2 pm**, even if we take the hike at a relaxed pace. This gives us plenty of options for the afternoon: we can have lunch in one of the local restaurants, stop for coffee and cake, explore the **Schlosspark** (sadly, the castle itself is no longer there), or simply catch a bus back towards Berlin. ### 🚆 Meeting & route We’ll meet at **8:20 am at Lichtenberg station, Platform 15**. Our train leaves at **8:38 am** and takes us directly to **Müncheberg (Markt)**, arriving at **9:13 am**. From there, we’ll start walking. The hike will be roughly **19 km** and will take us through a mix of open landscape, forest, moorland and lakeside paths before finishing in Buckow. For the return journey, buses from Buckow to Müncheberg leave at approximately **2:15, 3:15 and 4:15 pm**. From Müncheberg, we’ll take the train back to Berlin; the journey to Lichtenberg takes a little over an hour. Sunset is shortly before **5 pm**, so we’ll make sure we’re heading back in good time. ### 🥾 A few things to keep in mind **Late October can be wet**, especially in the moor and forest sections, so please check the weather forecast and come prepared. **Good, comfortable hiking shoes with decent grip are strongly recommended.** Please also bring **enough water and some food/snacks** to keep your energy levels up. We’ll take a snack break somewhere along the route, but there won’t be anywhere to buy food or drinks during the hike. As always, the idea is to **walk, talk and connect** — so don’t worry about setting a speed record. 😊 Looking forward to seeing you on the trail! 🌿🥾
