The 23-hectare protected forest serves to preserve and develop a groundwater-influenced pedunculate oak-hornbeam forest with holly, as well as stands of alder and ash, while simultaneously safeguarding the water balance and habitats of endangered plant species. As a particularly valuable remnant of such a mixed deciduous forest in the sparsely wooded Prignitz region, it is being scientifically monitored long-term and without direct human intervention to study forest development, soil, flora, fauna, and natural self-organization processes. At the same time, the area functions as a forestry demonstration plot, conserves forest genetic resources, and contributes to the long-term preservation of biodiversity in self-regulating communities.

Perleberg is a picturesque little town with a historic old town and is located in the heart of the Prignitz. The town has many well-preserved half-timbered houses, cobbled streets and a charming town centre. The market square is the centre of the old town and is dominated by the imposing town hall from the Renaissance period. The Roland statue on the market square is one of the town's landmarks and symbolises the town charter granted in 1239. The Stepenitz river meanders through the town and creates idyllic places that invite you to linger. The rural surroundings are ideal for cycling tours, especially in the Elbe Valley nature reserve. Perleberg is a town that impresses with its history, its closeness to nature and its quiet charm. It is worth visiting as a destination for a tour or as a short detour.

The Stepenitz is a beautiful river that meanders through the beautiful landscape of the Prignitz. You can even watch salmon, as attempts have been made to reintroduce the fish here since 2000.

Today, the restored castle houses a museum dedicated to the history of the house and the living culture of the Brandenburg landed gentry, using the example of the Gans Edlen Herren zu Putlitz family. Concerts and civil weddings take place in the castle's beautiful garden hall, and church services are held in the castle chapel, as well as church weddings and baptisms.

The Perleberg post office was built in the 17th century at the intersection of several fixed postal routes. After the station was expanded several times, this building was built as an imperial post office between 1894 and 1896. In 1899, a telephone exchange was set up, which was housed in a new building in 1925. In 1987, the post office building was honored on a Deutsche Post stamp.
