Kunsterspring Nature Reserve Trail and Parking Area

Highlight • Parking

An unpaved car park which is also free. From here you can start right away on the wonderful nature and educational trail "NSG-Kunstertal" and the small forest animal park is not far either. 😉

Margarethenruh Spring

Highlight • Natural

The Margerethenruh is a side valley with several source areas and is a bit off the main path. The narrow path there is beautiful.

The Kochquelle is one of many springs that feed the Kunsterbach in the Kunstertal. Incidentally, the spring got its name from the funny spectacle with which it brings the water to the surface: it resembles a merrily bubbling saucepan!

Raucherstüble Wissinger Valley

Highlight • Restaurant

This is where the Kunstermühle was located, which burned down in 1917 and was never rebuilt. Today you can buy fish smoked directly from the fisherman here.

Today we walked to the Kochquelle spring in beautiful weather.
It's a little paradise for nature lovers.

May 5, 2024,Mit Elli auf dem Naturlehrpfad in Kunstersspring zur Kochquelle 🐶😃😜👌🏼

We got into trouble with Ellis' parents because we "walked over" the long, tall tree trunk😵‍💫😉

But everyone laughed when we said she stood on the tree trunk for the first photo, so that it looked like she was actually walking over, then quickly ran upstream over the bridge and stood on the tree trunk again, took a second photo, …

It bubbles a little in the cooking source, but there is no danger of it boiling over.

Short walk in the forest with friends who know their way around here as they live in Rheinsberg.
There was a lot of dead wood in the deciduous forest. Everything will be left as it is.
The goal was the small cooking spring. It really looked like the water was boiling. The small whirlpool washes light-colored sand to the surface.

We “took over” it in Velten near Berlin and then took the A24 to Neuruppin and from there towards Rheinsberg.

After about 13 km we reached Kunstersspring by car, left the zoo on the right in the direction of travel and then parked …

April 10, 2022,Kunsterspring und Kochquelle

On the way back from Rheinsberg to Potsdam, we stopped in Kunsterspring and hiked a little on the very beautiful nature trail to the Kochquelle. The trail skirts the artery and there are some headwaters and wetlands to see.
In the Kochquelle, the sandy bottom bubbled in the crystal-clear water.
A small, fine round.
