Forest submerged in the Briese

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Good hiking trail and a bit above a path that is better for bicycles. A scenic experience.

A natural spectacle beyond compare: The Briesetal was mined by glacier movements during the Ice Age and leads its river - the Briese - very leisurely. In principle, the water stands and it resembles a fairy-tale marshland, which houses many animals. We saw several squirrels, saw woodpeckers knocking and swans and ducks swimming.

There are also several information boards and a small nature trail for young and old.

Hubertus Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Formerly a good point for a short rest, but now: shocking! No more tables and benches and the shelter dismantled.

The Erlenbruchwald at the Briese is something very special and rare.

Damned Briese

Highlight • Forest

The Briese is a small, non-navigable tributary of the Havel. It meanders here through a glacial channel with alder forest and is largely natural. Great! The atmosphere is incomparable and you can hardly imagine that the capital is just around the corner.

The Erlenbruchwald is a totally fascinating landscape. It looks idyllic, somewhat fairytale-like and bizarre at the same time.


"Alder swamp forests often grow on better nutrient-supplied fen soils with a focus on planar to submontane regions. The dominant character species black alder (Alnus glutinosa) gives it its name. The trunk foot provided with stilt roots is typical for the trees; Thanks to its adventitious roots, the black alder can cope with heavy waterlogging and fluctuating water levels comparatively better than many other tree species.”

Bridge Over the Briese

Highlight • Bridge

⚠️ The bridge is now half in the water. If you still want to get to the other side, you can jump over a few stones that have been laid out in the water (see picture).
