Endless forests and a rendezvous with a Dahme Beyond Groß Köris, the path winds deep into the vast forests of the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park. About halfway along the route, you come across the listed Hammer Forest House complex. It has been in the possession of the Hohenzollern family since the 18th century, and until 1913 the Prussian kings and emperors would frequently come here to hunt. Today, the meticulously restored forester’s lodge is a special place in the heart of the forest. In summer, the forest cinema attracts visitors, whilst during Advent, the traditional forest Christmas celebration exudes its very own magic. Beyond the forester’s lodge, the River Dahme reveals itself at its most beautiful. The river runs alongside the footpath for several kilometres. The water meanders leisurely through tranquil forests and vast meadows. The unspoilt riverbank is completely uninhabited and offers wonderful views time and again of a landscape that has retained its unspoilt character.
