Schlaubetal: Brandenburg's Quality Hiking Route

Hike Distance: 20km
Difficulty: Intermediate
Listed as one of Brandenburg's best hiking trails, the Schlaubetal Trail lies in one of the most remote and beautiful regions of the state. Often hailed as "Brandenburg’s Wild South," this full-day trekking experience guides you along the entire iconic Schlaubetal Trail (Schlaubetal-Wanderweg), a 20-kilometer certified quality trail that winds through glacial valleys, pristine pine-oak woodlands, and serene lake chains.

Starting at Müllrose—the gateway town to the valley—you’ll follow the winding, crystal-clear Schlaube River upstream toward its origin near Lake Wirchensee. As you navigate forested ravines and unpaved waterside paths, you’ll discover the region’s rich industrial heritage, passing historic timber-framed watermills like Ragower Mühle, Bremsdorfer Mühle, and Kieselwitzer Mühle.

Surrounded by undisturbed wildlife, ancient trees, and quiet solitude, this hike offers the ultimate nature reset for urbanites looking to experience the full extent of Brandenburg’s premier hiking destination.
The hike visits several mills and forest houses, where you will also stop for lunch and to enjoy the scenery. With the year coming to an end, this will be one of the last moments to go out and enjoy the end of Autumn, with a mix of varied fauna and wildlife.

The hike will be led by tour guide and Lonely Planet author Daniel Cole.
