Beketal

The Beketal nature reserve covers 96 hectares of land, featuring steep slopes, gravel banks, old forest areas, and the small Beke stream system.

The land belonged to the von Meerheimb family from 1662, who resided in the Gnemern water castle until significant changes occurred during the 1945 land reform.

The mixed deciduous forest area appears in the historical Wiebeking maps from 1786, representing centuries of German forest management traditions.

A hiking trail runs along the southern bank between Gnemern and Groß Gischow, allowing visitors to explore the natural features of the protected area.

The water systems support rare fish species including brook lampreys and spined loaches, while dead wood areas provide habitats for edible dormice and black woodpeckers.
