The Reicherskreuzer Heide is probably the absolute insider tip if you want to see the heath landscape in Brandenburg. She can easily keep up with the Lüneburg Heath. The only drawback: far and wide there is no snack or similar.
But what you can do well here: Blanket, take away food and have a great picnic.
Not far from Reicherskreuz is the Henzendorf boulder park. Should be seen at least once :).

In 1942 and 1943 there were a number of forest fires in the region, although it was assumed that the largest fire (1943) was deliberately set in order to build the Kurmark SS military training area on the “cleared” area. The SS military training area was built around the village of Jamlitz near the small town of Lieberose. The Red Army took over the military training area and began to expand it in 1954. Until 1992, the area was used as a GSSD firing range and primarily for Warsaw Pact maneuver exercises. After the withdrawal of the armed forces, the Bundeswehr decided against further use of the site in 1994 and the areas of the Lieberose military training area were transferred to the state of Brandenburg. The Reicherskreuzer Heide is part of the 2,840 hectare Reicherskreuzer Heide and Schwansee nature reserve. This has been part of the Schlaubetal Nature Park since 1995.
