Trout pond and waterfall at the Vordere Walke

Highlight • Lake

A pond suddenly appears in the middle of the forest. Cistercian monks, who dammed a small spring stream around the year 1500, are hiding behind the secret of the pond. The collected water drove a mill wheel at the drain. The mill - also called "Vordere Walke" - was needed for fulling wool and linen fabrics. At that time, the cloth making trade was growing steadily in the region around Treuenbrietzen, so that the mill soon no longer met the technical requirements and a new mill was built. The "Vordere Walke" was converted into a grain mill and trout were used in the mill pond. Even the king at the time ordered his fish here, so the mill was soon called the trout mill. The mill went down in a fire in 1871.

Kolzenburg Village

Highlight • Settlement

Kolzenburg is a district of Luckenwalde and is located south of the city center.

Kolzenburg was first mentioned in a document in 1285, when Luckenwalde and eleven other villages, including this one, were sold to the Zinna monastery. Experts assume that there was previously a Slavic settlement around 900 meters north of the town center, which was still in existence in the 21st century. Around 550 meters to the south there is said to have been a castle that belonged to a knight Kolz. At the end of the 15th century, the Cistercians compiled a register from which it can be seen that the villagers had to provide the monastery with manual and tensioning services for two days.

Lake Glienick

Highlight • Lake

Admission to the lido at Glienicksee is also open to non-campers every day during the season.
The Glienicksee is one of the cleanest bodies of water in the region and invites you to swim, fish or just enjoy the beautiful nature.
Here you will find what is probably the most beautiful sandy bathing beach in Teltow Fäming, with a beach volleyball court and playground right on the beach area.

May 5, 2025, Forellenteich and Waterfall at Vordere Walke

The Trout Pond is one of the ponds 'in the forest.' It is fed by several springs close to the pond (to the west) and also by a spring a few hundred meters southwest. From there, the water flows via a small waterfall into the Horseshoe Pond and then into the Nieplitz River.

The beach at the campsite looks great! We didn't try to find out whether hikers are allowed there, as the campsite is fenced off from that side.

The two lakes south of Frankenfelde were created in 2002 during the dredging as a compensatory and replacement measure for the construction of the new B 101.
