Blumberger Mühle, Nature and environmental education center in Angermünde, Germany
Blumberger Mühle is an education and nature center in Angermünde with a building shaped like a tree trunk that reflects natural cycles in its design. The site includes a landscape with fish ponds, paths, and various habitats for animals.
The center was developed as a model for sustainable cultural landscapes and became part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Schorfheide-Chorin. This status established it as a place for environmental education and conservation in the region.
The name refers to its milling past, though the focus is now on environmental education. Visitors experience how nature and human activities connect through observing animals like turtles and sheep that inhabit the grounds.
The center is accessible by local paths and provides a pleasant setting for walking and observing animals. It is best to wear weather-appropriate clothing and allow time to explore the different ponds and habitats.
The grounds contain roughly 21 fish ponds where rare species like European pond turtles and Skudden sheep can be observed. These animals are part of a large-scale nature experience project that demonstrates how diversity is maintained.
