May 8, 2025,Treuenbrietzener Landschaftsrunde durch den Reichhelms Park und das NSG Zarth (RB Treuenbrietzen – RB Treuenbrietzen)
Today we're going to explore a lot of countryside, and the scenic walk near Treuenbrietzen is a natural choice. The name says it all, because just beyond the last houses, the landscape is nothing but spring-like. Our small hiking quartet, consisting of @Helga 🎒🥾❤️, @Prinzessin 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♀️🧎‍♀️🚣‍♀️⛷️🧗‍♂️🌲, @SOPHIA, and me, walks past breezy meadows to Reichhelms Park, a deciduous forest area …

Today's tour isn't unfamiliar to me... although I haven't hiked it in spring yet.

Together with Irene, Sonja, and Steffen, I immerse myself in this wonderful natural setting with its fresh greenery. We walk along the edge of fields and through idyllic wooded areas on mostly natural paths. The Reichhelms Pond lies enchantingly in the sun, only the water lilies …

The Eiscafe Sabinchen in Treuenbrietzen opens at 1 p.m. and at 1 p.m. we are the first guests to sit down with a delicious sundae and coffee. We, that is Moritz and I, have arranged to tour the Zarth together. Public holiday, May 1st, sun and ice, and now it's off to a wonderful tour!

I started at the Treuenbrietzen Süd stop and hiked to Reichhelms Park, which I really liked with its ponds …

Treuenbrietzen and its wooded surroundings offer good hiking trails. In overcast but dry weather, we chose one of the marked circular tours --- the "landscape tour", which combines the NSG Zarth with the Nieplitz lowlands.

The Zarth is a pristine forest area with diverse flora and fauna interspersed with peat ponds. Through private initiative (keyword: Eduard Prinke) it was possible …
