To the north of Berlin lies the Barnimer Land. For Berliners in particular, it is the ideal region for a day trip, and for holidaymakers in Brandenburg, the Barnim is a dream destination.
The landscape of the Barnim was shaped by the Ice Age. Here you will find gentle hilly landscapes and many lakes. Large mixed forests and some large landscape conservation areas characterise the picture. Hiking and cycling, water sports and culture – in the Barnim everyone will find something to suit their holiday plans.
