Erpe Stream in Erpetal Nature Reserve

📍 Favorite place: The Erpetal nature reserve is already in Brandenburg, borders on the south-east of Berlin and is perfect for off-road cycling and hiking.

It is green and a bit swampy, partly crossed by willows. The small Erpe, partly reinforced on the banks with wooden trunks, flows between gardens until it reaches a wide valley with meadows. Many birds live here in the pools and ponds around the Erpe. Cattle also graze here.

The ground is a bit more uncomfortable, often full of holes, sandy or muddy. Wide tires with little pressure are definitely an advantage. Nevertheless, it is worth visiting this place on the city limits: be it for a more challenging bike ride, to observe animals or simply to relax.

How diverse Berlin and the surrounding area can be. On weekends when the weather is good, however, there is a lot of activity here.

The E11 hiking trail leads through the Erpe Valley.
There is a nature trail between Ravensteiner Mühle and Heidemühle. It is a circular hiking trail with 12 stations that bring the natural features closer and explain them.
the circular route is approx. 3.5 km long.
