Entrance to the Jüterbog Wilderness Area (Wurzelberg Trail)

Welcome to the Jüterbog wilderness area!The area was used militarily for over 150 years. What remained was a huge contiguous area that is uninhabited and without roads. Today it is under nature protection and offers a habitat for rare species such as wolves, Bechstein's bats and hoopoes.You can experience our wilderness area here by following the marked hiking trails. They are each marked with short robinia posts on the left and right. You can also find the tours here in our channel.The area has been declared a nature reserve by the state of Brandenburg. There is a path requirement in accordance with the nature reserve ordinance:

The Brandenburg Natural Landscape Foundation owns a large part of the area and protects it permanently for wilderness development. This means that no more interventions are taking place on a large part of the area. Please be considerate of nature in the wilderness area. This means:
- For your own protection and in accordance with the NSG regulation, only use the secured hiking trails that have been cleared of ordnance and are marked.
- Watch out for hanging branches, dead trees and avoid the area during thunderstorms, strong winds, ice, heavy rain or risk of fire.
- Keep your dogs on a leash.
- Pay attention to sunscreen and enough drinks in the heat.If you are interested in wilderness development and want to find out more about the area, then visit our website: stiftung-nlb.deWe also offer themed tours in our wilderness areas.
