I had a fantastic weekend hiking in Brandenburg in preparation for my September Alpe Adria vacation…clearly not enough elevation gain but there was some. Saturday was spent hiking the Brieseweg and then being a bit lost in the surrounding area. A very pleasant and calm place to get lost in though.

Last November, I walked the Briese part of this hike and the vast differences in seasons can be seen in the photos below.

On Sunday, I walked part of 66 Seen Weg which is a long distance hike in Brandenburg going completely around Berlin. This short section is a mere 40 minute train ride from my apartment. There are plenty of isolated trails along the way, but being so close to the city there is also a great deal of urban influence, adding color to another great day hiking.
