Eduard Prinke Memorial and Entrance to Zarth Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

In May 2015, a memorial stone for Eduard Prinke was erected at the entrance on the Treuenbrietzen side. The stone under the white elm with the simple biographical data for Zarth's father (1939-2013), which was erected two years after Prinke's death, is justified. A few meters further, some information boards provide information. They report on the EU funding for the revitalization of the moor and wet forest complex by backfilling ditches, building support sleepers, backwater from crossings, water fords, sole sliding and bridges in this part of the Nuthe-Nieplitz nature park. "Zarth" is said to come from the Slavic word for devil, and the term Teufelswald simply comes to mind in this section. The 260-hectare Zarth area is definitely worth a visit, although entering the branching paths and meadows is prohibited.

Zarth Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

... also called Felwood, after the Slavic "rips" for devils. Formerly used as a peat-mining area, the area was bought up by a private initiative and carefully made available to the public.

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.
