Across the rolling hills and vibrant forests, the Schlaubetal unfolds before you. A true hiker’s paradise, this stunning river valley, often called the most beautiful in East Brandenburg, stretches southeast of Berlin. Schlaubetal Nature Park is a haven for nature lovers. The Schlaube River meanders through the heart of it all, carving its way through a diverse landscape. Deciduous forests cling to the valley slopes. A mix of sandy soil, chalky marl, and wet moorland creates a unique environment. This fosters a rich tapestry of plant and animal life. Schlaubetal’s history intertwines with the Cistercian monastery of Neuzelle. This cultural monument of national significance stands as a testament to the region’s past. The Schlaube, Oelse, and Dorche river valleys are dotted with old mill sites. These serve as reminders of the importance of water power in the Middle Ages. Some mills have vanished, while others have been transformed into inviting pubs. They now welcome day-trippers seeking refreshment. For those seeking a wilder experience, the Reicherskreuzer Heide heathland beckons. Largely untouched by tourism due to its past as a military training ground, it offers a glimpse into a more pristine landscape. A circular walk, a viewing platform, and the Glacial Erratics Park near Henzendorf provide opportunities to explore this unique area. The Schlaubetal is more than just a picturesque landscape. It is a living testament to the interplay of nature, history, and human ingenuity. The park invites exploration and discovery, whether you are a seasoned hiker or a casual visitor.
