Relief at Wurzelberg

In the middle of the landscape is a strange-looking, meter-sized relief embedded in the ground, which can even be seen from the satellite view. There should be a location overview if you stand in front of it. A little imagination is required, however, since the relief has already weathered over the years.

Shortly after the Russians withdrew, this was still a covered terrace from which the generals watched the tank maneuvers. The maneuvering area was reproduced on the concrete surface in front of it. The railway line was even represented by real model railway tracks that were pressed into the fresh concrete. A few years ago the area was "renovated", the hiking trails drawn in and the marked buildings removed.

You are here in the Jüterbog wilderness area. From the elevation of the root mountain you have a fascinating view of a large inland dune as a relic of the last ice age and of the wilderness development areas. At this rest area you can enjoy the view with a leisurely picnic.
