A lot of interesting things can be discovered about the area on this small tour: The traces of the village of Bugk go back to the Middle Ages; "Bugk" is a Lower Slavic word for beech - but pine has now predominated here. The landscape was shaped by the Saale Ice Age, so the Glienitzberg was piled up by the ice masses as a compression moraine. Timothy grass and the common chimney wasp have specialized in the dry conditions in the Brandenburg sand. You can read more precisely on an information board on site; There is also more information here at the waypoints.
