Top 20 Natural Monuments around Tuplice

The Muskauer Faltenbogen Geopark is an impressive terminal moraine landscape, now home to extensive forests and a post-mining landscape, perfect for hiking, biking, and exploring. On the grounds of the school camp in Jerischke, there is an information center with an exhibition on the geology of the folds. It explains how it was formed during the Ice Age, the background of lignite mining, and the discovery of the Klinge mammoth. An exhibition featuring native forest animals completes the offerings. https://www.reiseland-brandenburg.de

Shortly after Bad Muskau, the Oder-Neisse Cycle Path turns into a quiet, almost enchanted forest. The "Fairytale Forest" is part of the Schwarze Grube Nature Reserve and is not without reason. It smells of damp moss, the paths are lined with ferns, and the forest whispers stories from the last Ice Age – 15,000 years old, yet still very much alive today. Educational panels tell of the soil that supported all this, of sand, meltwater, and an ancient lake. Those traveling with children will find something to enjoy here, as will those who remain a little bit of a child.

The school camp welcomes school classes, kindergartens, after-school groups, retreats, senior citizen groups, club outings, field trips, and company outings. Fresh, regional cuisine is available, and can be flexibly tailored to individual needs—including a barbecue evening. The camp also houses the "Muskauer Faltenbogen" information center. If the door is locked, just check to see if Mr. Thron is there. He'll be happy to open it. https://www.schullandheim-jerischke.de/

The small spring, which lies in the middle of an old beech forest, is a pleasant way to cool off, especially on hot days. In this natural forest, which is left to regenerate itself, the crystal-clear water of the spring bubbles up from the ground. A narrow wooden path leads directly along the spring, making it easily accessible. The quiet atmosphere of the forest and the gentle rippling of the water invite you to take a short break and enjoy the fresh forest air. The beech trees in this area are among the oldest in Lusatia and the Spreewald. From the spring there are many opportunities to hike through the shady forest, ideal for a relaxing tour away from the hustle and bustle.

Anyone traveling along the Oder-Neisse Cycle Path and thinking there are no more surprises hasn't yet experienced the "Black Pit." A name like something out of an old fairytale book—and that's exactly how it feels when you immerse yourself in this forest. The path narrows, the light is filtered, and the noise of the world stays outside like an unwelcome guest. Here, in the nature reserve near Jerischke, they stand close together: small-leaved lindens, pedunculate oaks, hornbeams, and beeches—old trees with a gnarled character. The ground is soft, the leaves are fragrant, and somewhere a bird calls, seemingly in no hurry. No wonder some simply call this section the "Fairytale Forest." Those who rest here might hear the moss breathing—or at least their own heart. The "Black Pit" isn't a tourist hotspot, but a place that lives in silence. One that shows that not every attraction has to be loud. And that sometimes the best thing is simply to stop for a moment, take a deep breath, and realize: I'm here. In the middle of the forest, in the middle of now. For cyclists, this section is more than just a passage – it's an invitation to dismount. To look. And maybe even to marvel. Because anyone who rides through this forest with their eyes open will take away more than just kilometers: a feeling of peace, of grounding – and a little touch of magic.

On the Oder-Neisse cycle path you cycle through the “Schwarze Grube” nature reserve with its legendary Wolfsschlucht gorge. The rich fern population and dense canopy of leaves do justice to its name “Schwarze Grube”.

Area: 4 hectares. With English oaks, hornbeams, elms, spruces.
