Less suitable for racing bikes, but a fantastic connection through the forest.

Narrow traffic-calmed country road with a good surface! In Mückendorf this turns into rough cobblestones without a cycle path!

The residential area Horstmühle appeared for the first time in the Schmettauschen maps in the years 1778 and 1786 with a water mill that belonged to the Baruth estate. The local register from 1858 lists a residential building and two outbuildings for the dwelling place, including a water-powered flour mill. The name Horstmühle appeared for the first time in 1861. Ten years later it consisted of the mill establishment with a residential building. In the second half of the 18th century, a main building was built, which was equipped with several tiled stoves around 1850. Various doors and banisters were altered in the early 20th century. Around 1900, a farm building and an ice cellar were added. In 1929 the residential area came to the community of Lynow. The property was used until the 1980s. In 1950, the building housed a hiking and tourism station of the Committee for Tourism and Hiking, which was managed from Luckenwalde. The building has been derelict since the 1980s. The mill building no longer exists in the 21st century. The main house, a farm building and an ice cellar are listed buildings. A support association has been committed to its preservation since 2007 and the ensemble opens the building on selected days, for example on the day of the open monument. In 2009/2010, work was carried out to secure the stable roof, and in 2011 construction of a rest hut began, which was completed in 2012. A hiker's hut was built in 2015. Further renovation was hampered by legal disputes between the Solms-Baruth princely family and the city. Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horstm%C3%BChle_(Baruth/Mark)

The residential area is located in the Baruth glacial valley to the west of the city center and north of the district of Schöbendorf. The Schöbendorfer Busch nature reserve borders to the north of the residential area, to the east of the other district of Paplitz and to the west of Lynow, a district of the municipality of Nuthe-Urstromtal. The Horstgraben, which drains agricultural areas, flows through the residential area in an east-west direction. To the east is the Paplitzer Müllergraben in a south-north direction, which drains into the Paplitzer Graben and finally into the Hammerfliess at the level of the residential area. The living space was created when the Baruth rulers of Solms had a house built for the forest workers on the site. In 1950 the residential area appeared to belong to the municipality of Schöbendorf. In 1983 the Bombachhaus base of the LPG Schöbendorf-Paplitz was located there. The place of residence was incorporated into Baruth/Mark along with Schöbendorf on December 31, 2001. The building is used by an architectural office in the 21st century. Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombachhaus

The Baruth line runs for kilometers through pure nature. The hiker in need of rest does not always find the opportunity to stop off at the right moment. Special seating has been set up for picnics and relaxation, which at the same time has a communicative character: seating arranged in the shape of a cross with a small table in the middle for the snack you have brought with you. The original design, which is individualized by a reproduction of the location along the route in the Rückenlehen, comes from unoMent GmbH in the nearby museum village of Glashütte. The locations of these rest areas are in Blankenfelde at the nature sports park, near the southern end of the Rangsdorfer See, between Am Mellensee and Wünsdorf and in the local situation of Paplitz.
