3. Etappe "Burgenwanderweg": Rädigke – Jeserig, walking trail

The third stage of the Burgenwanderweg trail covers more than 20 kilometres from Rädigke to Jeserig. The hike leads along the gently rippling River Plane to the village of Raben. It’s well worth taking a look inside the village church and the experience exhibition (Erlebnisausstellung) at the Naturparkzentrum Hoher Fläming (Nature Park Centre). Rabenstein Castle, a highlight of this stage, sits at a height of 153 metres on the 'Steiler Hagen’ hill. A peak into the torture chamber makes for a spooky experience, while the falconer will explain the art of hunting with birds in flight demonstrations.
