The FFH area "Zarth" (Sorbian: devil's forest) is one of the last remnants of natural, rich mixed deciduous forests in the Baruth glacial valley. Extensive source horizons are characteristic, which cause a high proportion of permanently wet areas. The wettest areas are occupied by alder-ash forests. On slight hills there are English oak and hornbeam forests with old trees shaped by the historical use of the Hutewald. In addition, different forms of vegetation in the wet meadows characterize the area. The cabbage thistle meadow dominates and valuable small sedge lawns and moor grass meadows are present. The mosaic of diverse habitats in the Zarth is also home to a corresponding wealth of species in the animal world. The occurrence of 92 breeding bird species, including 5 woodpecker species, with the middle woodpecker as a "jungle species" is remarkable. The crane breeds undisturbed in the inaccessible alder swamps and the kingfisher finds sufficient food in the clear water of the streams. The beaver has also settled here a few years ago and, as animal hydraulic engineers, supports efforts to protect the moor.

The NSG Zarth has a completely different character than the Nuthe-Nieplitz lowlands and the Pfefferfliess: an almost jungle-like, damp and dense forest area that is reminiscent of the Spreewald with its largely inaccessible swamp forest. The swampy area, whose name comes from the Slavic "tschert" or "tschort" = devil and could mean devil's forest, lies east of Treuenbrietzen directly below the headwaters of the northern Fläminghanges in the Baruth glacial valley. Several streams originate in the NSG and form ponds and small lakes. At the wettest spots there are the black alders and ash trees that are typical of the biotope, and at slightly higher altitudes a pedunculate oak and hornbeam forest. Around 340 plant species were counted, including five different types of orchids alone. The European pond turtle finds the necessary clear streams and the very rare black stork the preferred hiding places in the dense forest. The specially protected NSG Zarth can and may only be crossed on a path that connects Treuenbrietzen with the south-eastern village of Bardenitz.

I can only recommend the NSG Zarth, especially when most dragonflies are flying. There is no bench or seat along the way. But many beautiful motives.

Beautifully idyllic gravel pit lake located on the former military training area. Pure relaxation and not far away is the small gravel pit lake, which almost reaches the roadside, but is hardly recognizable. The two lakes south of Frankenfelde were created in 2002 during dredging as a compensatory and replacement measure for the construction of the new B 101.
