2nd stage of the E10 European Long-Distance Path through the Dahme-Seenland

The section of the E10 from Groß Köris to Märkisch Buchholz is a walk on quiet paths through settlements and forests and along the unpopulated bank of the River Dahme. The river meanders gently through picturesque forests and meadows. Märkisch Buchholz is a charming little town that marks the gateway to the Spreewald Forest. The route can easily be combined with the town walk around Märkisch Buchholz.
