Pilgrim Hike: Templin Loop (16.5 km)
Sat, Aug 22 · 9:16 AM CEST
Templin Stadt Train Station, Robert-Koch-Straße 16, Templin, DE
This pilgrimage follows the water. Setting out from the old town of Templin, we'll trace a chain of quiet lakes – the Templiner Stadtsee, Bruchsee, Fährsee, and Lübbesee – along shoreline paths that keep the water almost always in view. It's a gentle, unhurried day with room to pause, breathe, and step into the lake.

Sat, Sep 5 · 9:19 AM CEST

It's a long, open-hearted day for those willing to walk far and look closely.
