Glauer mountains
The Glauer Mountains , southwest of Berlin , are a hilly landscape made of sand within the Thümenschen Winkel . They are part of the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park and belong to the Teltow-Fläming district .
geography
The Glauer Berge are surrounded by the Brandenburg villages of Blankensee in the west, Mietgendorf in the north, Großbeuthen in the east and Glau in the south. Over a length of almost four kilometers they form one of the most distinctive compression moraines in southern Brandenburg. Its highest elevations are the Kapellenberg (79.2 meters) and the Kesselberg (90.7 meters).
history
About 18,000 years ago a huge glacier formed this striking landscape. Older material such as rubble , marl and sand was initially thrown up as terminal moraine wall. The glacier then pushed out again over the deposited material and formed a compression moraine under horizontal and vertical pressure. Since the older material mainly consisted of sand , as is typical for the Margraviate of Brandenburg , this also forms the typical appearance of the Glauer Berge. In the 19th century an established church one on one of the surveys chapel . However, apart from a few remains of the foundation, this no longer exists in the 21st century. After the end of the Second World War , the Red Army built a garrison on the grounds of the peace city Weissenberg and used the mountains at times as a missile base.
fauna and Flora
In the lichen-pine forest on the plateaus of the Glauer Berge, which is under special protection as a fauna and flora habitat , there are many cripple pines . In the lower areas there is willow and alder forest as well as many oaks and birches . Special herbs are the green-flowered toadflax and the blood loosestrife . The short-sensed Italian beautiful insect found here is threatened with extinction.
Mineral spring
In 1908 a citizen from Blankensee brought spring water from the Glauer mountains into the trade. The bottled and carbonated product marketed under the name “Bikkesprudel” was legally protected according to the label. According to the information on the label, one liter of water contained, among other things, 17 mg sodium chloride, 31 mg natural carbon dioxide, 41 mg calcium oxide as well as magnesia, iron oxide and potash. The source should still flow weakly, another one has meanwhile dried up.
Sports
Various circular hikes of different lengths lead around the compression moraine at the foot of the Glauer Berge. An approximately 7 km long marked circular hiking trail leads through the Glau fields to the city of peace and on the ridge of the hill range. Sections are identical to Fontaneweg F4 . The European long-distance hiking trail E10 leads past the Glauer Mountains.
