ドラッハハウゼンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Not an officer's hill but the general's hill

It is very quiet and peaceful in the Lieberos Heath. But the area hasn't always been as peaceful and tranquil as it is today. The largest military exercise took place here in 1970, when the Warsaw Pact states held their first large-scale joint exercise, "Brotherhood in Arms." The exercise was observed from Generalshügel (General's Hill). (Leonid Brezhnev, Walter Ulbricht, Erich Honecker, and Raul Castro) Over 50,000 soldiers are said to have been deployed in Lieberose alone. The area is heavily contaminated with munitions. Germany's largest desert is increasingly becoming a steppe landscape. The grandstand on Generalshügel has been rebuilt in accordance with historic preservation regulations and is now the centerpiece of the Succession Park.

Here you have time to rest and relax

Not much remains of the landing site. There were six helicopter landing platforms for the Warsaw Pact leadership and generals.

The Lieberos Heath is an area of Lower Lusatia, Brandenburg. In a moraine landscape shaped by the glacial period, covered by pine forests and extensive sandy heaths, as well as nutrient-poor heath moors and lakes, a great diversity of species develops here. Studies have revealed over 100 breeding bird species, over 400 butterfly species, 55 dragonfly species, and much more. Since 2009, a wolf has been known to have settled in the Lieberos Heath. Roe deer, red deer, black deer, and mouflon can also be found throughout the area. Guided hikes are also offered. It is a 25,500-hectare nature reserve.

Beautiful, quiet area for hiking.
