Permanente der Teichlandradler, durch das Amt Peitz

The town of Peitz founded the Amt Peitz on July 16, 1992, together with the municipalities of Bärenbrück, Drachhausen, Drehnow, Grötsch, Heinersbrück, Maust, Neuendorf, Preilack, Schönhöhe, Tauer, and Turnow. Within Amt Peitz is a pond area of about 1,000 hectares, which is among the most significant pond areas in Central Europe. In addition to the ponds, the landscape is mainly characterized by extensive biotopes, the 'Bärenbrücker Höhe,' and the Jänschwalde power plant. Approximately 30% of the district's area consists of water surfaces, largely used for fish farming. Well-known long-distance cycling routes such as the Spree Cycle Route, Gurken Cycle Route, Fürst-Pückler Cycle Route, and the Mining Tour run directly through the municipalities. Nestled within nature and landscape conservation areas and surrounded by ponds, Amt Peitz offers many idyllic spots as well as historic buildings, such as the Peitz fortress or the mill in Turnow. Numerous rare animal and plant species are native to Amt Peitz. Several viewpoints have been set up near the ponds where waterfowl can be observed. A visit to the adventure park in Teichland on the Bärenbrücker Höhe is especially recommended at the start and end of the tour.
