The vineyard near Bergen used to belong to the Fürstlich Drehna estate - hence the Drehnaer Weinberg. In the 18th century, wine was grown on the southern slope and terraces can still be seen. Today there is an orchard here. A picnic stand invites you to take a break.

Until the middle of the 19th century, wine was grown here and even down to today's Schlabendorfer Lake. However, it is said that it was quite sour and therefore not a success. Today you can take a break here on the picnic bench and perhaps enjoy a sip of grape juice you brought with you.

The Stiebsdorfer See was created from an opencast mining hole and is reminiscent of the village of the same name that was dredged in 1981. From the lookout point you can watch the spectacular return of nature.
