Landschaftsschutzgebiet Diedersdorfer Heide und Großbeerener Graben, Protected landscape area in Teltow-Fläming District, Germany.
The Diedersdorfer Heide and Großbeerener Graben protected area is a nature conservation zone in Teltow-Fläming that covers several communities such as Osdorf, Mahlow, and Blankenfelde. The landscape is characterized by meadows, farmland, and a ditch system, with walking trails including the Berliner Mauerweg and Teltower Dörferweg running through the northern section.
The area took its present form through water management works in the 19th century, when canals were built to channel water from cultivated lands into the Nuthe river. These early infrastructure projects shaped the landscape structure we see today, with its distinctive ditches and waterways.
The area reflects the traditional landscape character of the Teltow region, with meadows and fields that locals use for walks and outdoor activities. This mix of nature and farmland has long served as an important place for people nearby to spend time outdoors.
The Berliner Mauerweg and Teltower Dörferweg offer good paths for walking and cycling through the area and can be accessed from several starting points. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear, as trail conditions vary depending on the season and weather.
The Genshagener Busch in the southeastern section contains an area of special ecological value that was incorporated into the European Natura 2000 network. This site with its distinctive habitats is a quiet place for visitors to observe rare plants and animals in their natural surroundings.
