About this tour

Explore Brandenburg’s wild Schlaubetal on a 20 km autumn hike through peaceful forests, glacial valleys and historic watermill landscapes.

🌿Why Go?

Discover Brandenburg’s Wild South on Foot

Ready to escape Berlin and explore one of Brandenburg’s most beautiful natural landscapes?

Join Urbanature Travel for a full-day hiking adventure through Schlaubetal, a region celebrated for its tranquil lakes, winding streams, forested ravines and historic watermills.

Often called “Brandenburg’s Wild South,” this beautiful region offers a refreshing escape from the city, with peaceful woodland trails and landscapes shaped by the Ice Age.

Our adventure follows the renowned Schlaubetal-Wanderweg, taking us through quiet forests, alongside the Schlaube River and past historic mills that reflect the area’s traditional rural heritage.

November brings a special atmosphere to the countryside. With the final colours of autumn, fallen leaves and crisp forest air, this is an opportunity to enjoy one of the last beautiful hiking days of the season before winter arrives.

The hike will be led by Daniel Cole, tour guide and Lonely Planet author, making this an opportunity to discover the region alongside an experienced guide.

Whether you are a regular hiker, a nature enthusiast or someone looking for a rewarding outdoor challenge, this trip combines scenic landscapes, local heritage and friendly company.
