What it is
The Glindow Alps are not mountains: they are hills and ravines left by centuries of clay extraction for Berlin's and Potsdam's bricks, now covered in forest and protected as a nature reserve. The town suggests a circular walk of about 7.2 km that leaves from Petzow, climbs by narrow paths to small hilltops with views and comes back without difficulty.
How it works
Set off from Petzow, on the shore of the Schwielowsee, and follow the town's route on Komoot. Allow two hours with stops. Bring a picnic: there are good places to stop at the top. Wear closed shoes, as some stretches are loose earth.
