Top 5 Gorges around Neuhardenberg

There are places that are more than just a landscape. The Wolfsschlucht (Wolf Gorge) in Märkische Schweiz (Markish Switzerland) is one such place – and its upper section is a pure natural adventure. 40 meters of elevation separate the Dachsberg from the Kleiner Tornowsee (Little Tornow Lake), but the path between them is no stroll, but an expedition through Brandenburg's small wilderness. A Weichselian glacial valley, just like in a book – if that book tells of damp roots, slippery carpets of leaves, and childlike climbing. Anyone who walks here in dry weather immediately understands: This isn't just a gorge, it's a stage. For little explorers crawling through the undergrowth with shining eyes. For grown-up children who forget they're actually adults. And for dogs who think they're in Canada. Deviating to the right or left from the actual path isn't an obligation, but an inner compulsion – somewhere between climbing fun and primal instinct. The trees lean over the path like spectators, some lying sideways, as if asking, "Well, can you get over it?" Others creak with quiet approval as you push past. And if you pause for a moment, you'll sense it: This place is a relic from another time – shaped by glaciers, animated by mosses, and steeped in history.

Just let your inner child out here. 😁 This section is only suitable for pedestrians.

The Wolfsschlucht is always a highlight, best done on foot! It's also fun to drift to the right or left and climb your own path within the "ravine".

The view is beautiful, especially when the sun is low. You can descend to the large stone in no time. A bit of entertaining fun! The path up the “hills” is generally fun.

The Drachenkehle is the path through the gorge from the former root spruce on the Sophienfiß up to the Krugberg, the highest elevation in Märkische Schweiz. The throats are a specialty of Märkische Schweiz. A humid climate prevails in the deeply cut gorges. Water constantly flows over the valley floor from springs and streams. Humid forest communities such as pedunculate oak and hornbeam forests or beech forests with interspersed ash, small-leaved and small-leaved lime trees, sycamore, sycamore and white elm can develop here. The herbaceous layer is rich in mosses, ferns and spring flowering plants such as maidenhair moss, polypody fern, herbaceous herb, hepatica and lesser celandine.

However, these have been eliminated and the path is fully accessible. Coming from the Sophienfiß you go uphill at the signpost, which is in a nettle field and is hardly recognizable.

The Wolfsschlucht is a Vistula glacial notched valley. The difference in height of the gorge between the Dachsberg at the upper end and the small Tornowsee is 40 m.

I can't really recommend cycling here: in addition to the steepness, low-lying trees and one or the other large rock are a nuisance

In good weather (dry) great for kids to run around!
