Löcknitztal, Protected area in Grünheide (Mark), Germany

The Löcknitztal protected area spans 489 hectares of land, featuring meadows, marshes, reeds, and alluvial forests along a natural tributary of the Spree River.

The designation of Löcknitztal as a protected area occurred in 1984, followed by its registration as a Fauna-Flora-Habitat territory in 1998.

German writer Theodor Fontane referred to Löcknitztal in his works as the most charming valley within the Brandenburg region.

Visitors can access the nature reserve through an 8-kilometer hiking trail that connects Fangschleuse station to Hangelsberg, with regular train connections to Berlin.

The reserve houses 100 breeding bird species, 23 fish species, and more than 450 butterfly species, along with rare orchids and European pond turtles.
