The Storkower Lake, also known as Dolgensee, covers an area of 3.7 km² and has a depth of 12 meters at its deepest point. It is the smaller sibling of the Scharmützelsee. Together, they form an unbeatable duo as a tourist destination.

The tour starts at the castle and leads to Karlslust Beach. In "Netti's Pantry", there are regional delicacies available for a hearty snack on the go. The most magnificent structure on the route is undoubtedly the hunting castle Hubertushöhe, a historically preserved site located on the shores of the Storkower Lake. The castle was built between 1899 and 1900 for the Berlin-based printing house owner and publisher Georg Büxenstein as a representative country house or hunting lodge, including outbuildings. The next point on the map is the small Catholic church. The building is designed to resemble a scaled fish, whose tail fin is depicted in the altar window. Before reaching the Sheep's Bridge near Wendisch Rietz, a well-maintained boardwalk winds its way through a bog.
In Dahmsdorf, a district of Reichenwalde, there's a wonderfully picturesque view of the Storkower Lake and the opposite castle from the beach. On Reichenwalder Street, you'll pass by the horse pond and the modern beach bath. The tour continues over the drawbridge on the Storkower Canal and through the old town before returning to the castle.
