1st day tour (17 km)
From Gielow the route leads over hilly pastures and meadows. The banks of the Ostpeene rise up to 15 meters above its stony bed. Surrounded by a dense beech grove, the trail follows its course upstream. Countless dragonflies and butterflies buzz on the wet meadows between Pinnow and Demzin.
2nd day tour (18 km)
Through the Hainholz - a small beech forest at the gates of Malchin - the path leads to Viezendorf. Where the forest opens up, it gives a view of the hilly panorama of Mecklenburg Switzerland. A Tuscan-like avenue of pyramid poplars leads amazed observers to the castle park of Basedow. It was designed by the world-famous landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné. Quiet streams and winding paths weave through the park. Giant trees dream between them. The castle sits enthroned in the middle. In the mirror-smooth ponds all around it, its magnificently ornamented and red-glowing stepped gables can be seen for themselves. Before returning, the Old Sheepfold and the Café Schmiede invite you to linger.
3rd day tour (19 km)
Behind the seven mountains of Mecklenburg Switzerland lies Lake Kummerow - the eighth largest lake in Germany. To catch sight of it, hikers cross the 97-meter-high Friedrich-Franz-Höhe from Pisede. From its summit, summiters have a sweeping view over the green hills and to the small town of Neukalen. After descending through the gently rustling beech forest, the lake already beckons with its sparkling blue in the village of Salem. Through a freshly scented pine forest and past the now water-filled Malchin peat pits, where herons and cormorants go hunting, the trail leads back to Malchin.
