Alte Waldstraße

Highlight • Trail

Pros: Direct connection through the Sachsenwald forest between Grande and Aumühle, often on solid sandy forest paths. Cons: A long stretch of cobblestones near the underpass under Kreisstraße, with occasional thicker stones along the path and remnants of tree felling.

Linden Avenue (Sachsenwald)

Highlight • Trail

The Lindenallee runs across the Sachsenwald forest from Aumühle to Rotenbek.

It's a wide, sandy path that, with a few exceptions, is easy to ride on.

The beginning near Aumühle is paved for a short stretch, and another short stretch before and under the motorway bridge is paved as well – it's a bit bumpy there.

Sachsenwald Forest Trail

Highlight • Forest

The whole of the Sachsenwald or the Billetal is worth a tour in itself!

Aumühle Mill Pond

Highlight • Lake

The mill pond is the water reservoir of the former Fürstenmühle, which is gradually becoming overgrown and silted up, and is fed by the Schwarze Au. It is quite large and long and provides a habitat for a variety of water birds. A pair of shovelers were paddling across the water right before our eyes.

Bridge over the Schwarze Au

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge safely carries pedestrians and cyclists across the Schwarze Au (Black Au).

The Schwarze Au originates in a pasture 300 meters south of the Havekost–Grove road. From its source, the Schwarze Au flows in a straightened course through meadows and fields, mostly along the edges of small groves, initially in a southwesterly direction. After 800 meters, it is channeled through a pipe under a field. After 200 meters, it resurfaces and changes direction to southeast.

It traverses the Sachsenwald forest in an east-west direction, flows through the Aumühle district of Friedrichsruh, where it is dammed to form the castle pond, and empties into the Bille River in Aumühle at an elevation of 11 meters above sea level. The Fürst-Bismarck-Quelle (Prince Bismarck Spring Water) production facility is located directly opposite the confluence.

Princess Elisabeth von Bismarck founded the Butterfly Garden 31 years ago
in the historic greenhouses of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.
These are located next to the 800-year-old Friedrichsruh Brewery.
Here, you can be enchanted by the tropical colors of free-flying butterflies from South America, Africa, and Asia.
Native butterflies fly frequently in the open-air area of the Fragrance Garden,
at the dragonfly pond, and among the lavender among the roses.
In the Singing Water Garden, the magnificent koi carp delight in being fed by visitors.
A small boutique offers selected gift items and picture books,
as well as a wide selection of informational materials and literature on the subject of butterflies.
The cafeteria by the castle pond and Café Vanessa invite you to linger in idyllic surroundings. Water turtles and dwarf rabbits are of interest to all nature lovers and make the Butterfly Garden an experience.
The garden is unfortunately closed in winter.
