Verlorenwasser is a small river that drains part of the Hohen Fläming north to Buckau and over this to the Havel . It is the largest tributary of the Buckau and has a catchment area of more than one hundred square kilometers. Verlorenwasser and Buckau are among the four important natural rivers on the north side of the Hohen Fläming, to which the Plane and the Temnitz also belong.
course
The almost twenty kilometers long river rises on the northern slope of the Hohen Fläming, about two to three kilometers east of the Bad Belziger district named after it, Verlorenwasser , near the geographic center of the former GDR . In its upper reaches largely natural, it initially flows to the village of Gräben over seven kilometers in a north-westerly direction through the forest area Werbiger Holz, and then turns to the north. Verlorenwasser leaves the forest at ditches and flows for about four kilometers through open meadows. In the lower reaches of the Wenzlower Heide pine forest, it takes in its longest tributary, the Briesener Bach , coming from the southeast at a former mill . To the east of Wollin , Verlorenwasser passes under the A 2 motorway and a little later reaches the village of Wenzlow . After a further three kilometers through wet meadows on the eastern edge of the Fiener Bruch , the river flows into Buckau , which comes from the southwest, just beyond the city limits of Brandenburg near Mahlenzien .
In the upper reaches of Verlorenwasser the biological water quality is given as quality classes I to II. The river is considered to be lightly polluted in this area. From north of trenches it is rated with quality class II and as moderately polluted.
Protected areas
Lost water flows through several partially overlapping protected areas. To the level of Wollin it is for example in High Fläming Nature Park and conservation area High Fläming - Belziger Landschaftswiesen . In addition, the upper reaches to trenches are designated as a nature reserve Verlorenwasserbach Oberlauf . Furthermore, the river is protected as a FFH area Verlorenwasserbach and, for a short time, as a protected landscape component Verlorenwasser. Below Gräben, Verlorenwasser belongs to the FFH area Buckau and tributaries to complement . To the north of Wenzlow, the river is located in the Brandenburg Forest and Lake Area and on the outer edge of the Fiener Bruch bird sanctuary ( SPA area ).
