A 2.5 km long hiking trail between the steelworks and the Maustmühle mill leads directly through the pond area. To the east are the Hälterteich and the Neuendorfer Oberteich. Both ponds are among the largest bodies of water on the Peitz pond estate. On the other side flows the Hammergraben, an artificial tributary of the Spree. Behind them lie smaller ponds. Along the trail, information panels provide interesting information on the history of the Peitz ponds, fish farming, flora, fauna, and nature conservation. The pond educational trail was named after the fisheries scientist Professor Dr. Wilhelm Schäperclaus (1899-1995). https://tourismus.peitz.de/de/landschaft/professor-schaeperclaus-teichlehrpfad

Before the weir, the Hammergraben branches off and flows east for about one kilometer. Along the way, it is crossed by the B169 federal highway toward Guben and the Cottbus–Guben railway line. After a 90° turn to the north, it passes through the Hammergrabensiedlung, a residential area of Cottbus, and then Merzdorf. About 700 meters after passing under a road bridge west of Merzdorf, the Hammergraben originally split, having recently received water from the Tranitz River. The old course turned east again not far from here, eventually supplying the Lakoma pond landscape with water. After a weir, it now comes to an abrupt end due to devastation caused by the Cottbus-Nord open-cast mine. The open-cast mine, which has been depleted since 2015, was flooded with Spree water to form the Cottbus Baltic Sea from 2019 to 2024, with the Hammergraben serving as a feeder. The new Hammergraben makes a slight left turn at the same point, finally flowing parallel to the B 169 on the west side past the former village of Lakoma. Here, the Hammergraben takes on more of a canal appearance and then, after a good four kilometers, rejoins the original Hammergraben course near Maust. Flowing through the Peitz pond landscape and supplied with water, the ditch reaches the southern edge of Peitz and turns west there. At this bend, there is an island surrounded by the water, and a branch canal begins, heading east to the Jänschwalde power station. Continuing along the main ditch, it passes the Laßzinswiesen meadows and the village of Maiberg, before joining the Malxe River just five kilometers west of the village. Both streams merge there to form the Großer Fließ (Great Flow).[3] The Hammergraben is a listed historical monument from the former village of Lakoma to its confluence with the Malxe River near Fehrow.[4] Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammergraben_(Cottbus)
