The hike starts west of Petersdorf and leads in a circular route first to the Rauer Berge, where the observation tower, the Margrave Stones and the Stone Tables are located. Further on you reach the Paulsbornquelle and the outskirts of Bad Saarow, where the Scharmützelsee invites you to linger. This hiking route is well suited for hiking with dogs as the forested areas along the route are pleasantly quiet. The section of the route that runs on a road also has very little traffic.
