Where lignite was once mined, today an impressive natural landscape with dunes, lakes, and wild forests stretches out. Today's Nature Discovery Center is the only building left behind by the excavator in the village of Wanninchen. The interactive exhibition and the extensive outdoor area provide fascinating insights into the flora and fauna of this unique post-mining landscape.

Very nice cycle path at Schlabendorfer See

After decades of coal mining, a unique natural paradise with bizarre dunes, new forests, meadows and extensive lakes was created here. Today's nature experience center is the only building that the excavator left behind in the village of Wanninchen. With its panoramic view over the Schlabendorfer Lake and the nature experience areas, it is now a destination for many enthusiastic nature lovers.

The Beesdau manor is located in the town of the same name in Brandenburg. Its origins can probably be traced back to the 14th century, perhaps even earlier. It is possible that the manor already existed at the beginning of the 13th century, as many towns and communities developed from these manors. Even then, the town was dominated by agriculture, and the manor did the rest. Between 1400 and 1798, the town belonged to the Polenz family, who lived in the manor house for a long time. In 1841, the manor, which consisted of the actual manor complex and the manor house mentioned, was bought by councilor Johann Gottlieb Koppe, who had a castle built there in the Gothic style. Since then, the manor has also been known as Beesdau Castle. The property survived the Second World War almost unscathed. After 1945, it was used as a cultural center for a long time, and is now privately owned.

From the observation tower at Borcheltsbusch you have a wonderful view over meadows and fields. We were able to observe numerous birds. A crane and a great egret were staring through the reeds, grey geese and lapwings were in the meadow. It was accompanied by the singing of nightingales and yellowhammers.
