Nature and adventure trail: Crane Path

Which creature lives in one of the most precious moorlands in Germany, the alkaline Braunmoosmoor Möllensee? This nature trail leads through varied landscapes, past still waters and wetlands – the habitat of the crane. This also includes the border area of the former Lieberose military training ground – terrain that was hardly touched by human hand for many decades. The Crane Path is near the Stiftung Naturlandschaften Brandenburg Wilderness Trail.
This nature trail is one of a total of six circular paths that follow the Ludwig Leichhardt Trail in loops. All of them together form the Ludwig Leichhardt Nature Trail, covering a total length of some 32 kilometres. This makes it one of the longest nature trails in Germany. Each path is dedicated to a selected aspect of the impressive and varied natural landscapes between Goyatz and Butzen.
