For your interest
What is it about to pick Ferch as an holiday resort?It feels a bit like being in sweden but at the same you have the possibility to get lost in the cultural plurality and artistic heritage of the sourrounding cities.
The vital life of Potsdam ist just 15km away and via the highway A10 you will be in the western city center of Berlin within 30 minutes. Being so close to the fastest and busiest places around is very appealing but the real advantage of Ferch is the deep calmness you will feel here.
With its 1.700 inhabitants Ferch belongs to the community Schwielowsee. The community got its name from the lake Schwielowsee which is one of largest and most beautiful lakes in the federal state of Brandenburg. Especially for water sports the lake is well suited. Via the Templin lake and the river Havel you can easily reach the Wannsee and finally Berlin.
Hiking the 18 km around the lake - while the other shore is always in sight view - takes about 4 hours. Of course with the bike you are faster but why hurry in such a landscape? Follow the route slowly and relax. Maybe you also take a drink in one of the many cafés and restaurants around the lake.
The landscape around Ferch is of high recreational value for the tourists and an attraction for water sportists.
Quite some poets, artists and scientists have been inspired by the landscape. Until today you can follow their traces.
While swimming in the lake or hiking around it, taking a bike or a boat ride - the number of different forms of active recreation is big in this fascinating landscape.
If we could help you to feel a deep effect of relaxation and to wish to come back in the future, we achieved quite something.
Sincerely,
Dagmar und Winfried Kriegler
