Frozen pond at the Bad Freienwalde moor bath in the Oderbruch region by Silva Wischeropp

This wintry, dreamy and snowy landscape photograph was taken on 2 February 2019 in the evening hours with the NIKON D90 camera (lens: SIGMA 18.0-70.0 mm f/3.5-4.5).
The motif was taken in the small town of Bad Freienwalde (Märkisch-Oderland) in the Oderbruch region. It shows the frozen, wintry spa gardens with the neighbouring specialist clinic and moor bath.
Just take a deep breath and enjoy the view of the hilly forests and the idyllic pond in the fresh, icy cold. A contemplative atmosphere, the freshly fallen snow spreads peace and quiet.
Here, visitors can simply unwind and take a break from the hectic city of Berlin, for example.

The muted, wintry colours lend the nature motif a fairytale-like, harmonious and calming atmosphere.

The wintry Oderbruch
Deep in the east, almost on the Oder, the slopes of the Upper Barnim drop down into the Oderbruch.
Surprisingly deep gorges and valleys for Brandenburg run through the forests west of Bad Freienwalde, with small streams babbling down into the valley.

Here in the northern part of the Oderbruch, a lot is being done to reveal the idyllic nature of this peculiar landscape to those interested. Numerous marked hiking trails lead to lookout towers, mountain huts and hidden lakes.

Health is a top priority around the spa town. Hiking trails around Bad Freienwalde have been equipped with health and mindfulness information boards.

The old town with the town hall, the parish church of St Nicholas, the concert hall in the former church of St George, the small castle with its park, the House of Nature Conservation and the Oderland Museum.
It is also worth taking a stroll through the spa district of the oldest spa town in the Mark Brandenburg with its many renovated villas, the spa gardens, the specialised clinic and the mud baths. There are over 100 architectural monuments to discover in the spa town.
