Details

Description

The walk starts in Vermol. The pleasure tour first leads slightly downhill through an idyllic forest to Lake Chapfensee. The reservoir, which is barely noticeable as such, is nestled in the pristine landscape. There are many fire pits at the inlet of the lake, which will whet your appetite for a sausage from the barbecue. The easy hike continues around the lake and past a protected moor. The trail leads back along a beautiful forest path and you soon reach Vermol.

Hidden Gem

There are several places along the way where you can sit down, have a picnic and enjoy the view.

Safety Note
