To your west lies the 67-hectare protected forest "Schwarzheide." It preserves a characteristic section of the forest landscapes of East Brandenburg and allows them to develop naturally from the banks of the Spree River to the terminal moraine. Furthermore, it protects the functioning of the natural environment and provides valuable habitat for rare plants and animals. At the same time, this natural forest serves as an important site for long-term research, environmental monitoring, and the practical application of knowledge for both teaching and practical application.

Great overall section, fantastic especially between Beeskow and Fürstenwalde - quiet and secluded. Can be completed with a loop via Philadelphia.

Close both gates, then operate the filling hatches and then the lock will fill up. Then open the gate to drive in and close the gate again. Operate the filling hatches again and wait until the time has expired. Then open the gate to drive out.

The lock, which was only newly built in 2019, was not planned to meet the needs of the area, as it is quite complicated to operate and the alternative portage is made more difficult by railings and steps (four up, a total of six down). However, portage works well with two people and without a boat trolley, especially as getting in and out is easy because the pontoons are well designed.
