(Top tip: If you have a folding bike, you donʹt need to pay to take it on the train). Take the RE5 and RB12 trains to Templin for a one hour cycle through several idyllic villages and the Lübbesee, Sabinensee and Kölpinsee lakes. Sabinensee in particular is ideal for taking a dip, with cool, clear water and its own jetty. Your destination is Gerswalde, a charming village thatʹs home to the perfect place for garden lovers and foodies: Grosser Garten. Here is where you will find garden-to-table bistro Parg, which serves excellent locally-sourced food in a rustic glasshouse. After lunch, stop by Kombini, a mini kiosk run by German-Japanese siblings Yoko and Anna, for some Japanese accessories and edible treats. Sit back with coffee and cake and let the pair give you tips for the local area. A few minutes walk away is On, a ceramics studio and shop where you can browse handmade vases, mugs and bowls. Once youʹve stocked up on stoneware, itʹs time to cruise back to the station and return to the city feeling (hopefully) more serene than when you left it...
