4th and 5th stage "Fontanewanderweg" from Prieros to Neubrück and from Neubrück to Gross Köris

Hiking trail through the Dubrow (forest area) with an interesting section of the route along the shore of Lake Schmölde: The view over the lake is unique in terms of nature impressions. From the Forsthaus Dubrow it's worth taking a detour to the Haus des Waldes. Near the shores of Lake Klein Köris with its resting places, the landscape is impressive. In Klein Köris it's worth making a detour to the Freilichtmuseum Germanische Siedlung open-air museum. The Fontane hiking trail leads in the direction of Gross Köris past a swamp area. Along the way there are numerous culinary offers and places to stop for a bite to eat or a drink. This hiking section can be easily combined with the Lake Klein Köris circular trail (2nd most popular hiking trail in Brandenburg). In Gross Köris the E10 European long-distance hiking trail crosses this route.
Length: about 12 kilometres to Neubrück, around 3 hours; about 19 kilometres to Gross Köris, around 5 hours
