Brautrummel, Trockental im Hohen Fläming im Land Brandenburg
Brautrummel is a dry valley in the Hohen Fläming area of Brandenburg with gentle slopes covered by pines, oaks, and birches. The valley descends about ten meters and spans nearly eight hectares, with crumbly ground that makes walking easy across its dry terrain.
The valley was used for centuries by farmers to graze sheep, goats, and pigs, as suggested by the name 'Schweinerummel'. After German reunification, the land was abandoned and became overgrown until grazing animals returned in 2021 to restore its original appearance.
The name 'Brautrummel' originates from a local legend about a bride and groom caught by a sudden storm in the valley. This story shapes how visitors understand the place and its connection to human history.
The valley is easy to walk through, though paths can briefly fill with water during heavy rain, making sturdy footwear advisable. Visitors can explore the area in most weather conditions since the ground remains walkable even when damp.
Near a rest spot along the trail stands a wooden artwork called 'A Bed for the Fläming' by artist Sebastian David, inviting reflection on the valley's history. Carved from local oak, it symbolizes the search for connection between people and the land.
