On this hike you follow the path through pine forests straight into a terrain that is currently both irritating and fascinating with its strange steppe or desert character. Everything is changing here, and an exciting development is taking place. From the elevation of the root mountain you have a fascinating…

Below the concrete platform, you'll find a pleasant resting place and an old map of the area, which may have played a role during military exercises. From here, you could survey the area and recreate troop movements on the map.

November 2, 2024,Luckenwalde // Rundweg Wanderdüne

In the sunniest autumn weather, walk around Brandenburg's largest shifting dune. The start and end point is the hiking car park on the B101 right next to the Wildbahn. It goes on old cobblestones and sand/forest paths through former military territory (stay on the paths!). Everything is dead silent except for the wind and the cranes. Climbing the dune is …

First of all: The route presented here does not correspond to my original route. If you follow the tour here, you will hike one of two fascinating hiking trails in the forest north of Jüterbog. An ancient shifting dune and relics from the time as a military training area await you next to an interesting, huge relief in the middle …

The sandy tour begins just before Luckenwalde. Even on the straight path, it's clear that no expense has been spared on the sand. A vast steppe landscape – dry and barren, yet impressive. It must look truly stunning here in August, as the heath spreads across the ground. The former military training area is a nature reserve and may only …

January 30, 2022,Brandenburger Wanderdünen im NSG Forst Zinna-Jüterbog-Keilberg 🌬🌥🥾

A feeling of desert and Baltic Sea alike overtook me today on my little hike in the south of Berlin in the NSG Forst Zinna-Jüterbog-Keilberg. It was incredibly stormy today, but I still reached my goal, the largest shifting dune in Brandenburg. The dune then had to be admired and climbed. Whether on top of the dunes or from the …

April 5, 2025,Wanderdüne bei Luckenwalde 🥾🌞

A special feature can be found on the former Jüterbog military training area, which is designated as a foundation area and a nature reserve. The approximately 900-meter-long inland dune has chosen a permanent location here. The finest, light-colored sand gleams from afar, almost conjuring the illusion of being on the Baltic Sea.
