Pechpfuhl bei Siethen

Pechpfuhl bei Siethen is a protected area featuring four lakes in its southern section with a landscape that gradually transforms into raised bog habitat toward the north. The terrain shifts from open water to wetland environment with distinctive plant growth patterns.

The area first appears on a 1682 map, with its name derived from a pitch production facility that once operated here. This early industrial use shaped the Brandenburg region's development.

The regional fishing community maintains strong connections to these waters, following specific guidelines established by the Brandenburg Angling Association.

The area is accessible year-round, though fishing requires permits obtained through official channels. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for soft, wet ground especially in the boggy northern section.

The water bodies contain numerous underwater bait graves and host various fish species including eels, perch, pike, carp, and tench.
