You can discover lots of interesting facts about the area on this short loop: Traces of the village of Bugk date back to the Middle Ages; "Bugk" is a Low Slavic word for beech - but pine trees now predominate here. The landscape was shaped by the Saale Ice Age, and the Glienitzberg was piled up by the ice masses as a moraine. Steppe timothy and the common chimney wasp have specialised in the dry conditions of the Brandenburg sand. You can find out more on an information board on site.
