The Fläming - Highlights
The Fläming is a gently rolling highland range southwest of Berlin, extending across southern Brandenburg and northern Sachsen-Anhalt. The landscape, shaped by glaciers during the ice age, features expansive forests, fields and quiet villages. The highest elevations in the Hoher Fläming are located around Bad Belzig. Well-developed routes such as the Flaeming-Skate make the area popular with cyclists and skaters.
There is a lot to discover. We have selected the best sights and cycling and hiking destinations for you:
Berlin Wall Trail
The trail begins at Checkpoint Charlie, where American and Soviet tanks faced off in 1961. It then winds through former East German territory, including the infamous Bornholmer Bridge checkpoint, which was one of the first places where people could walk from East to West without being shot on sight. Along this section you will also find many memorials and monuments commemorating those who died trying to escape behind the so-called "Iron Curtain"
