The 38 km long Teltowkanalweg connects the Griebnitzsee with the Dahme in the south of Berlin. The navigable canal, which was built in just six years, was intended to shorten the waterway between the Oder and the Elbe around 1900. With the construction of the Teltowkanal, many smaller streams disappeared at the time, as their beds were used for the canal's course. The path is designed continuously for hikers and mostly also for cyclists.

The Buschgraben is half natural, half artificial. The Buschgraben largely got its course through the Ice Age as a meltwater channel. Its extent stretched from Grunewald to the floodplain at the Teltowkanal and flowed into the Bäketal. In the 18th century, work began to drain the area, which was also the reason for the Teltowkanal. The land was to be made available for agriculture. The Buschgraben served for a long time as a cattle trough.

Before the rerouting, the A115 motorway ran west of Dreilinden. At this point, the motorway turned south toward the Teltow Canal. In doing so, it crossed the Potsdam Main Railway line (https://www.i2030.de/suedwest/). The old railway bridge is still preserved and a popular hiking destination. Also clearly visible is the crash barrier, which was intended to protect the central bridge pier from collisions with trucks. As part of the planning for its reopening, the question of whether the bridge is still needed is being considered.
