NABU Blumberger Mühle Nature Discovery Center:
Explore the Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve in a fun way

The bike path along Lake Mündesee leads out of the city and into nature. Just cycling along the waterfront promenade won’t be enough for kids of all ages. There’s simply too much here to play with, discover, and try out. Via Kerkow, you’ll reach the NABU Blumberger Mühle Nature Discovery Center. Be sure to set aside plenty of family time here.

Child-friendly exhibits on local nature and biodiversity bring the experience to life. Outside, the trails lead past sunbathing terrapins and impressive beaver dams. From the well-camouflaged observation towers, you can spot ospreys and cranes. The large play area with a water feature and a maze is especially exciting for kids.

The route continues to Wolletz along pastures with beautiful black Angus cattle—a real eye-catcher!—from the organic farm Gut Kerkow. Time for a swim! Just before leaving town, a path on the left leads to Wolletzsee, which has swimming access points. The route continues to Altkünkendorf to the Buchenwald Grumsin World Natural Heritage Site Information Center.

Buchenwald Grumsin World Natural Heritage Information Center: Get informed first, then hike!

A highlight of the tour for young and old alike is the Buchenwald Grumsin World Natural Heritage Site. The Grumsin is part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site “Carpathian Beech Forests and Ancient Beech Forests of Europe” and is well on its way to becoming a true primeval forest. However, the hiking trails in the Grumsin are not suitable for biking. It’s best to leave your bike at the information center in Altkünkendorf and explore the Grumsin on foot along the World Natural Heritage site. Please stay on the marked “Buchenblatt” hiking trails.

TIP: Altkünkendorf is also home to the iconic Grumsiner Brennerei. Here, old, local varieties of grains and fruits are transformed into fine spirits.

Horses, cows, calves, and other animals

From Altkünkendorf, the route continues via Zuchenberg, past cow pastures, to Schmargendorf.

Take a break at Hemme Milch to enjoy some delicious cake, pet the cows and calves, and let the kids run around on the large grounds, which include a playground. Meanwhile, Mom and Dad can take a break from the kids at the farm café with its stunning panoramic views and pick up some fresh dairy products from the Uckermark to take home.

Maybe there’s still time and interest for a visit to the Angermünde Animal Park? A perfect way to cap off a day full of animal adventures in nature!
