European long-distance path E11 – From Ferch to Potsdam

The Ferch-Lienewitz train station is the starting point for this tour. First the road leads to the Kleiner Lienewitzsee. There are beautiful photo opportunities along the riverside path. Passing a small settlement, you continue to the Großer Lienewitzsee, a quarter of which is circled. The bathing area at the end of the lake invites you to take a break before heading towards Schwielowsee. The marshland of the Caputher See is crossed. Picturesque deciduous and forest areas alternate here. Half of the Caputher See is circled. In Caputh, the castle and Einstein's summer house are on the path. The forest path leads out of the village over the ridge past the Templiner See. The Forsthaus Templin invites you to the next break. You have to leave the ridge for a short distance before you reach the Templin suburb on the forest path. Templiner Straße leads to Potsdam Central Station.
