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.

The Buchwäldchen-Muckwar pond landscape is a fascinating nature reserve that has retained its special atmosphere despite occasional droughts. The ponds, which originated in the 12th century and were once created by Cistercians for fish farming, are now a valuable refuge for amphibians and water birds. Even though the water level has fluctuated in recent years, the area remains a lively habitat. Thanks to the hydraulic engineering measures that have been implemented since the area was transferred to the Brandenburg Nature Conservation Fund in 2004, the balance of nature is maintained here. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility of the landscape on winding paths and gain an insight into the historical significance of the ponds. The region is particularly at its most beautiful in the morning or evening hours when the light gently reflects off the water surfaces.

Great view over the former Kostebrau opencast mine.

The ponds were probably created by Cistercians in the 12th century for fish farming. The Großer Paul pond was already designated as a natural monument in need of special protection in 1933. Between 1987 and 1993 it became dry due to the brown coal mining and had to be irrigated artificially. All ponds are connected by ditches. The entire area has been protected since 1997 because many amphibians and water birds that need to be protected find their habitat here. The area was transferred to the Brandenburg Nature Conservation Fund Foundation in 2004. The foundation purchased additional areas and today ensures that the habitat for animals and plants is preserved through hydraulic engineering and forestry measures. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teichlandschaft_Buchw%C3%A4ldchen-Muckwar https://www.naturschutzfonds.de/natur-schuetzen/stiftungsflaechen/ueberblick-nach-landkreisen/oberspreewald-lausitz/flaechen-im-nsg-teichlandschaft-buchwaeldchen-muckwar

Nice rest area, pleasant after a tour of the Calauer mountains.

On the northern edge of Calauer Schweiz, near Werchow, is the "Hölle", an impressively incised notched valley. Several spring areas bring water to the surface here and once fed a swampy bog, on the edges of which the Lower Lusatian lowland spruce is at home.

Great, natural valley at the foot of the Kuhringsberg. For hiking or mountain biking.
