Das Glauer Tal - from bottom to top

Unobstructed views of hills against a green background are not exactly in abundance in the mainly flat region of Brandenburg. This is reason alone why this tour through the northern Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park, not far from the outskirts of Berlin, is not to be missed. The Löwendorf hill boasts an observation tower promising a wide vista into the Nuthe-Nieplitz lowlands and especially into the Glauer Valley. This landscape was once created by meltwater from the last Ice Age and is now home to a wildlife park and nature park centre providing lots of information on the flora and fauna of the region.Length: 22 kilometresStart/finish: TrebbinLogo/route sign: not specifiedHow to get there:Train: from Berlin Central Station (Hauptbahnhof), take the RE3 regional train (Lutherstadt Wittenberg) to Trebbin (about 30 minutes).By car: Take the B101 from Berlin to Trebbin (about 1 hour)Route: Löwendorf, Löwendorf Hill, Glau, Nature Park Centre, Blankensee - and backPoints of interest/background information:Trebbin Old TownObservation tower on the Löwendorf hill (about 15 minutes on foot)Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park CentreVillage of Blankensee on lake BlankenseeGlauer Tal wildlife park at the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park CentreBoardwalk on Lake BlankenseeTrail conditions / Surface: not specifiedMaps/Literature: Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park: Topographische Freizeitkarte, 1:50.000, Landesvermessung und Geobasisinformation Brandenburg; Auflage: Neuauflage.
