The NSG Zarth has a completely different character than the Nuthe-Nieplitz lowlands and the Pfefferfliess: an almost jungle-like, damp and dense forest area that is reminiscent of the Spreewald with its largely inaccessible swamp forest. The swampy area, whose name comes from the Slavic "tschert" or "tschort" = devil and could mean devil's forest, lies east of Treuenbrietzen directly below the headwaters of the northern Fläminghanges in the Baruth glacial valley. Several streams rise in the NSG and form pools and smaller lakes.

Hiking

The FFH area "Zarth" (Sorbian: devil's forest) is one of the last remnants of natural, rich mixed deciduous forests in the Baruth glacial valley. Extensive source horizons are characteristic, which cause a high proportion of permanently wet areas. The wettest areas are occupied by alder-ash forests. On slight hills there are English oak and hornbeam forests with old trees shaped by the historical use of the Hutewald. In addition, different forms of vegetation in the wet meadows characterize the area. The cabbage thistle meadow dominates and valuable small sedge lawns and moor grass meadows are present.
