ダーメ＝シュプレーワルドの天然記念物・トップ20

The Tornower See is near Tornow, a little south of Teupitz. There is a nature trail. Very nice paths along the bank and in the forest. There are benches and rest areas.

A beautiful lake, whether in summer or winter, with the music of Karat in your head and a wonderful silence in your ears, always wonderful here.

The most famous cycle path in the Spreewald

It is literally a paradise for birds. Sit on the grass on the bank and listen to the animals. Dreaming allowed

At the end of the 19th century the area became a popular tourist destination. A number of restaurants were built around the "Tiergarten", of which only "Riedels Gasthof" still exists today. In the course of the prince's settlement in 1926, the forestry office in Königs Wusterhausen became Prussian state property. In 1989, a forest educational trail was laid out in the "Tiergarten" for the first time. In 1994, a forest youth group renewed the nature trail at great expense. For Brandenburg Day 2008, the nature trail was again provided with boards by the forester's office in Königs Wusterhausen. According to the forest function mapping of the state of Brandenburg, the area is designated as a recreational forest.

South of the Staabe and east of the Krimnicksee, the soldier king Friedrich Wilhelm I, who often stayed at his nearby Wusterhausen hunting lodge, had a zoo laid out in 1725 in a 900-hectare forest area for hunting and to protect the wild stocks. The area is now a recreation area with up to 270-year-old oak trees and has been a nature reserve since 1995 under the name Tiergarten. The Neue Mühle hiking trail leads from Königs Wusterhausen via the castle park and the Neue Mühle lock through the zoo and back to Königs Wusterhausen.

A nature trail with information boards leads along the banks of Lake Tornow through a “primeval forest”. The path runs along the lake through rarely found, natural mixed pine forests. Naturally grown pine trees over 200 years old with impressive growth forms and dimensions stretch their crowns over the southern shore of Lake Tornow. They are among the oldest pines in the Mark Brandenburg. It is thanks to careful foresters and botanists that these native pines were preserved. Nowadays they are part of the “Briesensee and Klingeberg” nature reserve. In a scientific sense, the trees are so-called “autochthonous” pines: settled in the region and grown without human influence. This means that the Scots pine (Pinussylvestris) is characterized by characteristics and a specific adaptation to the location. Pine trees also naturally rejuvenate here. As a representative of conifers, the common pine is very variable in its growth form. Depending on the location, it can be 15 to 40 meters high and up to 500 years old. With its taproots it also reaches deep groundwater layers and can therefore survive longer dry periods. In adolescence and in the upper part of the trunk, the bark is thin and smooth and reddish in color. As it ages, the bark becomes grey-brown, deeply cracked and coarsely flaky.
