Wendisch Rietz Lock

Highlight • Structure

The lock, which has existed since 1865, was renovated in 1965 with concrete chamber walls and automated in 2004. The lock is activated using the request levers at the waiting points in the respective outer harbor. During operation in the summer months, up to 10,000 pleasure boats are on the move here. It is one of three locks that must be overcome on the way from Berlin to Scharmützelsee.

Rauen Viewing Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

This lookout tower is in close proximity to the Markgrafensteinen. The tower is 45 meters high and offers you a fantastic view of the Scharmutzelsee, the Rauener mountains and even as far as Berlin when visibility is good.

Access is secured by a turnstile and entry costs 1 euro per person. IMPORTANT: The machine only accepts 1 euro pieces and 50 cent pieces.

Great and Little Markgrafenstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here are the largest boulders in the region. At one you can see the spot where a piece of the boulder was blown off. The large stone bowl that still stands today in front of the Pergamon Museum in Berlin was made from it.

Today I only cycled from midday onwards, the heat was bearable as the tour around the lake offers a lot of shade.
