The best MTB trails around Mühlenfließ

For over a century and a half, Jüterbog was one of the largest, and at times the largest, garrison towns in Germany. It began in the mid-19th century with the establishment of a Royal Prussian artillery firing range. Later, the firing schools for field and foot artillery were established in Jüterbog, and a new, purely military district, Jüterbog 2, was developed. The artillery firing schools promoted military aviation with balloons, airships, and airplanes. An airship school, a central airship base, and an airfield with an observer school were built. The Royal Military Railway ran from Berlin to Jüterbog. After the First World War, garrison operations continued on a limited scale under the Reichswehr with the ordnance disposal and army signals school operating under the umbrella of the artillery school, before growing once again to a considerable size under the Wehrmacht. Three villages had to be cleared to expand the military training area, and a third camp, the Adolf Hitler Camp in Forst Zinna, was added to the existing Old and New Camps. The artillery school became the birthplace of new branches of the armed forces, such as assault artillery. The army ordnance depot and ammunition depot were expanded to include a production facility (filling plant). The Luftwaffe maintained two airfields in Jüterbog and Altes Lager, as well as an aviation technical school, an air park/air ordnance depot, and an air-to-ground firing range. Various units and formations of the army, air force, and Waffen-SS were established, reformed, or replenished in Jüterbog after combat operations. With the occupation by the Red Army, Jüterbog became the most important Soviet/CIS military base in Germany from 1945 to 1994. Its strength is estimated at approximately 40,000 troops – while Jüterbog had a population of only around 15,000! Because the old German military infrastructure was no longer sufficient, another training area, various barracks, residential buildings, garages, fuel depots, and command bunkers were added. This memorial commemorates this period. Source: https://www.garnisongeschichte-jueterbog.de/die-garnision

A magical piece of earth.

The climb can only be achieved by mountain bike.

A natural paradise with swamp and wetlands, which visitors should, however, traverse with peace and respect.

The Trout Pond is one of the ponds 'in the forest.' It is fed by several springs close to the pond (to the west) and also by a spring a few hundred meters southwest. From there, the water flows via a small waterfall into the Horseshoe Pond and then into the Nieplitz River.

The Springbachmühle near Bad Belzig is a charming hotel that blends perfectly into the idyllic landscape. Surrounded by rolling hills and a diverse range of wildlife, including goats and mouflons, it offers a wonderful setting for relaxing overnight stays. The kitchen spoils you with delicious dishes and a rich breakfast that is ideal to start the day. A stay at the Springbachmühle is therefore not only relaxing, but also a pleasure for all the senses!

The Herrmannsmühle is in a great location, in the forest with a small pond. The overnight option in the mill is also excellent.
