Sacrower See und Königswald
Sacrower See und Königswald is a nature reserve northeast of Potsdam, where forest surrounds the calcareous Sacrower See. The protected landscape covers more than 801 hectares and includes older pinewoods, mixed deciduous woodland, and small moors.
Established in 1941, the reserve follows a natural drainage channel from Seeburg to the Havel near Sacrow. Its varied terrain rises through the Rehberg, the 66-metre Zedlitzberg, the Schwarzer Berg, and the 78-metre Luisenberge. At the southern tip, Schloss Sacrow, its park, the village, and Heilandskirche stand beside Sacrow harbour. Since 1998, the area has formed part of the wider Königswald mit Havelseen und Seeburger Agrarlandschaft landscape protection area.
A Bronze Age fortification called Römerschanze or Königswall stands 19 metres above the shore of Lehnitzsee. Forest, water, moorland, historic buildings, and archaeological remains meet within one protected Potsdam landscape.
