Please check local regulations for: Spandauer Forst
The two, in the extreme north of the Spandauer forest lying, partially Verlandeten waters (large and small Rohrpfuhl) occupy altogether an area of 30.5 hectares. Similar to the devil's break today's Rohrpfuhle originated from a lake, which was increasingly silted up as a result of the construction of a drainage ditch and the Spandau waterworks. Since the 1980s, this process has been successfully stopped by an irrigation system, which - unlike the devil's breach - does not consist of water pipes but of water ditches that were formerly used for drainage purposes. The forest path, which had been piled up in the mid-1930s through the silted Great Reed Pipe, was restored in 1996 to protect the habitats. Since then, the Rohrpfuhle are accessible only from the outside.
