Route description

The tour begins with a ride on tram line 88 through the Berlin city forest. At Rüdersdorf Marktplatz, the hiking trail starts past Bäckerei Friedrich and Restaurant Chau. After crossing the Kalkgraben, the path follows the 66 Lakes Trail (blue marker) along the Kalksee shoreline. Small natural bathing spots, jetties, and traces of early 20th-century excursion spots line the way.

At the southern end of the lake, the canal to the Woltersdorf lock begins. Historic villas and natural waterfront sections offer varied scenery. The route continues over the Kranichsberg with its observation tower and panoramic view toward Berlin before reaching the lock.

Highlights:


  • Kalksee and Flakensee with natural bathing spots
  • Fieldstone bridge and old excursion sites
  • Kranichsberg with observation tower and film museum
  • With some luck: historic Woltersdorf tram




Dining options:


  • Bäckerei Friedrich (Rüdersdorf)
  • Restaurant Chau (Rüdersdorf)
  • Restaurants at the Woltersdorf lock (e.g. Schleusenwirtschaft, Café Knappe, Restaurant Liebesquelle)
