The Whisper of the Forest

Unspoilt nature parks and extensive forests

The scent of moss, pines and fresh forest air. The gentle rustling of the treetops, the buzzing of wild bees. Deep green in all its facets.

In the vast, dense forests of the Mark Brandenburg you can discover the forest in all its diversity.

A relaxing walk in the forest has a very positive effect on your health. The plant micro-materials in the pure forest air and the beneficial movement in green nature lower your stress level and blood pressure, boost your immune system and have a positive effect on your breathing. Let the healing power of the forest take effect on you!

The vastness of the land

Rambling through the Mark Brandenburg

In addition to beautiful lakes and extensive forests, the Mark Brandenburg is characterised above all by its vast cornfields and green meadows. Lined with old avenues, dreamy villages and small farms, the vast fields & meadows stretch in gently curving lines to the horizon.

Whether in the shade of an old apple tree, on the dreamy shore of a lake or in the afternoon sun on the edge of a forest: almost everywhere you can find a cosy spot where you can let the enchanting landscape and the vastness of the Mark Brandenburg take effect on you.

Starry nights

With beautiful sunsets by the lake

The Mark Brandenburg is characterised by extensive natural landscapes that are only populated with small villages. The best conditions for a brilliant starry sky.

On the dreamlike lakeside terrace of our Villa Contessa restaurant, with a little luck you can first enjoy a beautiful sunset and then the best view of the starry sky above the majestic Scharmützelsee. The clear view into the endless expanses of the sparkling starry sky is both fascinating and sublime. A true spectacle of nature.
