The Brettersche Graben was dug in 1752 to drain the fields and meadows of the colonists and is part of the former floodplain of the Spree. The ditch begins at the Rathauspark and the hiking trail starts at Seestraße. It leads past green meadows directly to the Spree. Numerous places along the way invite you to linger. Even Gerhart Hauptmann loved to stroll through the loneliness of the Mark Brandenburg forest and be inspired.

Route description

The circular route begins in the Rathauspark at Dämeritzsee. From there it leads in a southerly direction along the lakeside promenade. At the end, keep right, follow Seestraße and after about 100 meters turn left onto the path. After about 60 meters, the actual hiking trail begins with a boulder dam that leads across the wetland.

Info point StadA sandy path then leads past detached houses, meadows, groups of trees and a variety of flora. You reach Buchhorster Straße. The path is briefly interrupted here before turning right again into the meadows on the other side of the road just before the bridge.

With a view of grazing cows, the trail continues to the Spree. Rest areas invite you to have a picnic and offer views of the extensive Spree meadows. You reach Neu Zittauer Straße through the residential area “Am Schützenwäldchen”. Here there are two options for returning along the same route.

Return route Route 1

Follow Neu Zittauer Straße for approx. 300 m, then turn into Bergstraße. Keep right at the end of the road and follow Wuhlhorster Straße until you reach Buchhorster Straße. Turn left here and after approx. 350 m turn right again into Wiesenweg, which now leads in the opposite direction to the starting point.

Return route Route 2

Follow Neu Zittauer Straße, which becomes Friedrichstraße after approx. 1 km. Follow this road to Seestraße and Rathauspark.
