1. Etappe "Uckermärker Landrunde": Prenzlau - Naugarten, walking tour

The Uckermark Country Loop hiking route starts at the northern tip of Unteruckersee, Brandenburg’s third biggest lake. With its mighty appearance, the lake resembles the sea. Hikers leave the town walking on the former railway embankment and on through open countryside, past the water mill in Gollmitz, and finally to Naugarten. We recommend taking a dip in Naugartener See.
