The Barnim has a lot to offer: forests and lakes in a graceful landscape, charming places with exciting stories, and interesting people. Berliners, in particular, have every reason to sing the praises of Barnim. They go there to swim, hike, and cycle; many have their weekend retreats there. Yet, hardly any Berliner says, "I'm going to Barnim." No, they say: "I'm going to Schorfheide, to Lanke, to Werbellinsee, or to the Chorin Monastery." The Barnim cannot be generalized in terms of landscape. The travel guide "Barnim. A Companion" lets the diversity of Barnim speak for itself: in detail, entertaining, and informative. It invites you to rediscover this region that some may have long since written off. It presents excursion destinations, town centers, and attractions, along with tour descriptions.
