particularities

Dead lake

The Baasee (also Baa-See ) is a freshwater lake near Bad Freienwalde (Oder) in the Märkisch-Oderland district in Brandenburg . The lake with no inflow or outflow is located about one kilometer west of the Sonnenburg district.

General

The lake was created around 12,000 years ago. It formed at the end of the Vistula cold period , when a block of dead ice remained in the glacier tongue basin when the glacier retreated . From this the lake was formed, which today is fed by precipitation and nearby springs. The lake is surrounded by mixed forest, in which there is also a 48.20 m high Douglas fir , which was planted in 1888 on the instructions of the forest scientist Adam Schwappach . The tree was presented to the public on August 14th, 2000 as the tallest tree in Brandenburg, as can be seen from an information board at the Baasee. The tree has a breast height diameter of 78 cm and a wood volume of 8.8 cubic meters. In 2011, however, a 51.70 m high Douglas fir was measured in the Lychen city ​​forest . At the Baasee, however, stands the undisputed tallest ash tree in Brandenburg ( 42.50 m) (the tallest Brandenburg “ tree of the year ” 2001).

The Baasee moor

To the northwest of the lake is the Baasee-Moor, a small boiler moor . Its mirror is seven meters above that of the lake. Only fed by precipitation, it is very similar to a raised bog . It is poor in nutrients and is home to plants that have adapted to these conditions, such as peat moss , cranberries , swamp pore and maidenhair moss . The moor frog also lives here . A renaturation project has been running since 2006 . The drainage ditch to the Baasee was closed and a forest conversion program started, in which the spruce trees on the edge of the moor are removed to make room for natural vegetation.

Tourism and recreational activities

The Baasee is a popular hiking destination in Barnim . It is connected to Bad Freienwalde by the varied Sieben-Hügel-Weg. The Oderlandweg, a certified quality hiking trail, also leads along the banks of the Baa lake. The writer Theodor Fontane visited the Baasee and reported about it in 1863 in Part 2 ( Das Oderland. Barnim. Lebus. ) Of his hikes through the Mark Brandenburg .

Every year on May 1st, the Baasee run, organized by the sports club Athleticon 97 Bad Freienwalde eV , takes place, which leads from the Jahn Stadium in Bad Freienwalde via the Brunnenweg to the Baasee and back to the starting point via the Sieben-Hügel-Weg. With two laps, the route is 25 km long.

At the southeast end of the lake there is a forest tavern, which can also be reached by car from Sonnenburg.

Legends

There are old legends about the Baasee. Konrad Gründler has included two of them in his Freienwalder sagas and stories booklet .

The sunken chapel in the Baasee tells of the charcoal burner's daughter Ilse, who falls in love with the young knight from the Sonnenburg. In front of the image of Mary in the small chapel on Baasee, the knight vows to her that he will marry her as soon as he is of age. However, he breaks his promise. When he comes to the chapel on the wedding procession with his bride, the count's maiden from Werbellin Castle, a storm breaks out, lightning strikes the chapel and the entire wedding party sinks into the lake with her.

The white water nix in the Baasee tells that an evil robber baron was once killed by a farmer and has since lived in the Baasee, pulling the farmer's descendants who bathe in the lake into the depths. On St. Martin's Night from November 11th to 12th, the knight can be seen as a white nixie by everyone who cheated on nobody on St. Martin's Day .
