ニーダーラウジッツの峡谷・トップ15

A beautiful area for hiking and cycling.

Good for relaxing.

The Holy Mountain, one of the Schilfseeberge (reed lake mountains), was created from the excavated soil for the Schilfsee (reed lake). The Schilfseeberge surround a deep gorge, which Pückler named the Wolfsschlucht (Wolf's Gorge) in reference to Weber's opera "Der Freischütz." The crucifix was erected in 1859 as a Christian contrast to the crescent moon on the Mondberge, which symbolizes Islam. https://www.pueckler-museum.de/parkbauten/

The Schlaubetal valley captivates hikers and cyclists alike with its wild, romantic scenery. On this section, the Schlaube meanders through a deeply cut valley, with the steep slopes towering majestically above the path. The hiking trail leads directly along the bank, accompanied by the gentle rippling of the water and the roots of the old trees clinging to the embankment. The route is particularly inviting for a quiet exploration in spring, when the leaves shine in the soft light, or in autumn, when the paths are covered in golden leaves. But the valley also shows its unique facets at other times of the year. Despite the tranquility in the valley, the closures due to swine fever remind us that nature here is not only a place of relaxation, but also of change.

The V-shaped valley “Hölle” is a remarkable, natural valley on the northern edge of the Calauer Schweiz, which creates an almost mystical atmosphere with its narrow, overgrown shape and dark spruce trees. The path down into the “Hölle” is narrow and deeply cut, and this is precisely what makes hiking through it particularly attractive. Water and precipitation once collected here, which led to the formation of a moor. Today, the traces of this past are still visible, and nature conservation measures have contributed to the valley being part of the European NATURA 2000 protected area network. Anyone who dares to descend will be rewarded with a unique, unspoilt landscape that feels cool and damp - perfect for a short, adventurous hike. At the lower exit there is an information board that reveals more about the ecological importance and the renaturation projects of the area. The descent is particularly worthwhile from the Kuhringsberg, where there is direct access to the valley.

On the northern edge of the Calauer Switzerland, near Werchow, lies the "Hölle", an impressive V-shaped valley that catches the eye with its depth and steep slopes. This is where the Höllbach spring rises, supplying the valley with fresh spring water. The water once fed a swampy moor, the remains of which can still be seen today. The Niederlausitz lowland spruce, which is native to this region and gives the landscape a special character, grows on the edges of the valley. The place, with its peace and seclusion, invites you to take in the nature and offers a pleasant resting place after a hike through the Calauer Mountains.
