The Hellmühler Fliess is a natural body of water in the district of Barnim in north-eastern Brandenburg. In its course from west to east, the flow largely follows a system of channel lakes formed by the Ice Age, consisting of Liepnitzsee, Obersee and Hellsee, which it drains one after the other in the direction of the Biesenthal Basin. Southwest of Biesenthal, the river flows into the Regesesee, the origin of the river Finow. The total length of the Hellmühler Fliess is around 7.5 kilometers from the outlet of the Liepnitzsee.

Highlight • Bridge

Here you have the opportunity to switch to the other side of the Hellmühler river with dry feet.

The "Wanderbriefkasten" located directly at the bridge is also worth seeing.

Landscape in the Biesenthaler Becken Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

The Biesenthal Basin is a nature reserve in the Barnim district in the southwest of the Brandenburg municipality of Biesenthal.

The 990 hectare area is part of the Barnim Nature Park and includes a glacial landscape, recognizable by the hilly landscape with Kames and Zungenbeck lakes, including Mechesee, Hellsee, Liepnitzsee, Plötzensee, Regesesee and Streesee.

The boundaries of the basin are determined in the east and south by the Barnim plateau, in the west by a terminal moraine from the Vistula Ice Age and in the north by the Eberswalder glacial valley. Run through the edge of the basin, which unite in front of Biesenthal to the Finow-Fließ. The Biesenthal basin is drained by the Finow flow system via the Eberswalder glacial valley to the Oder.

The landscape was formed by dead ice in the Vistula Ice Age around 15,000 years ago. In addition, mixed deciduous forests, wet meadows and moors shape the landscape.

As a fauna and flora habitat, the Biesenthal basin is part of the Europe-wide Natura 2000 protected area. Part of the NSG is owned by the NABU Foundation for National Natural Heritage. On the edge of the basin, the town of Biesenthal lies in the north, the village of Lanke in the west and the villages of Lobetal and Rüdnitz in the south.

October 9, 2022,Eine abwechslungsreiche Tour im Biesenthal

Today's tour was really nice and certainly not the last lap I did here. It was varied and never boring. I can only recommend this tour. For amateur photographers, this path is a highlight because of the light show at this time of year at 10 a.m. There are so many motives waiting for you. Definitely worth detours to the …

May 21, 2023,Eine Runde im Biesenthaler Becken

Today was meeting point in Biesenthal. With seven hiking friends we started at Heideberg in the direction of Pfauenfiß. We hiked on great hiking trails through the forest towards Rüdnitzer Fliess. Due to the wetlands we also had a few encounters with a few mosquitoes. Past the Hellmühler Fliess we continued in the direction of Plötzensee. From there we hiked …

May 9, 2024,Wanderung von Lobetal durch das Biesenthaler Becken

The plan was actually to go on a nice bike ride today, but I spontaneously decided to go for a hike through the Biesenthal Basin. And it was the right decision. I set off relatively early in Lobetal to avoid all the "Father's" Day hustle and bustle and hiked towards Hellmühler Fließ. The area is one of my favorite routes. …

June 4, 2023,Von Lobetal einen Rundkurs durch das Biesenthaler Becken

Lobetal gives the impression of a large retirement home. From there it goes past the Mechesee into the forest and through a swampy landscape. Sometimes we were accompanied by a loud frog concert. There were also some blindworms and grass snakes to admire. Otherwise little visited and stunningly beautiful along the river - except for the mosquitoes...

October 22, 2023,Herbstwanderung Hellmühler Fließ – Biesenthaler Becken - Runde von Lobetal

A relaxed tour that took us from Lobetal to Hellmühle and through the Biesenthal basin back to Lobetal. Most of the time the path leads through the forest. The fresh air allows you to breathe deeply again. On a beautiful day like today you meet many other hikers and walkers.

I think the topic of Golden Autumn can slowly be ticked off. I'm ready for summer again :)
Since there was a good chance of dry weather in Biesenthal, we decided to go for a short hike there today. We started in Lobetal. By the way, there is also a small café there.
I really like the area around the …

August 19, 2025,Biesenthaler Becken im Naturpark Barnim

A short past-birthday trip with my daughters on a velvety sunny weekday: Student and retired life also has its advantages. The first part through the Biesenthal Basin was fantastic, the second part along the Berlin-Usedom cycle path was practical. Overall, a great pleasure.
