The area around Berlin has much to offer, including the Feldberger Seenplatte where an extraordinary natural spectacle occurs every August. Due to its high lime content and exceptional water quality, the Schmaler Luzin Lake impresses with a bright turquoise reminiscent of the Caribbean. And this is best experienced from the middle of the crystal-clear lake. Thanks to canoe, kayak and SUP rentals, everyone can enjoy the lake. You could easily spend an entire day on the lake — exploring the endless connecting waterways and marveling at the diverse flora and fauna you spot along the way. If you take your binoculars, with a little luck, you might be rewarded with a glimpse of a white-tailed eagle, osprey or kingfisher. In the charming village of Carwitz, which borders Schmaler Luzin to the south, enjoy freshly baked cakes and coffee at Café Sommerliebe. If you’re still in the mood for some culture, visit Hans Fallada’s house, which has been converted into a museum and hosts concerts and readings in the summertime.
