The Trout Pond is one of the ponds 'in the forest.' It is fed by several springs close to the pond (to the west) and also by a spring a few hundred meters southwest. From there, the water flows via a small waterfall into the Horseshoe Pond and then into the Nieplitz River.

This was once the site of the Raben swimming pool, which was no longer used and fell into disrepair. But then the rare alpine newts discovered the remaining concrete pool and found that it was ideal for raising their young. From that moment on, they used it to spawn in the spring and conservationists made the previously steep concrete walls more accessible for the newts. There is also a shady shelter here and more information about the place next door.

The swan pond is located in the city park and lies in the southern ring outside the historic city walls of Treuenbrietzen. The park goes back to an initiative by Carl August Pauckert. The son of a master tailor was born in the city on December 6, 1814. After training as a pharmacist, he took over the Adlerapotheke and became a member of the city council. In addition to these activities, his passion was botany; part-time he researched the flora of his region. He designed the city's historic ramparts (the Pauckert-Ring in the 21st century) and had a park laid out. In 1880 he was made an honorary citizen. Pauckert died on June 28, 1885 in Treuenbrietzen. In his memory, the city erected a memorial stone in the park on the 20th anniversary of his death. In December 2004, craftsmen replaced two previously demolished obelisks erected to commemorate Soviet victims. In their place came two granite blocks, each weighing 10 tons. In the fall of 2018, the city began a major redevelopment of the park.

A pond suddenly appears in the middle of the forest. Cistercian monks, who dammed a small spring stream around the year 1500, are hiding behind the secret of the pond. The collected water drove a mill wheel at the drain. The mill - also called "Vordere Walke" - was needed for fulling wool and linen fabrics. At that time, the cloth making trade was growing steadily in the region around Treuenbrietzen, so that the mill soon no longer met the technical requirements and a new mill was built. The "Vordere Walke" was converted into a grain mill and trout were used in the mill pond. Even the king at the time ordered his fish here, so the mill was soon called the trout mill. The mill went down in a fire in 1871.

If you don't know your way around, you'll quickly pass what is probably the only place that leads to the lake, because everything is overgrown. Therefore, unfortunately, it was only a lap around the Riebener See without even having seen it :-(
