Pfefferfliess before Stangenhagen ( from direction of Beelitz ). A channel and 2 lakes with lot of water birds. There is a watching tower with a map of 22 different waterbirds like Northern Shoveler, Greylag Goose, Eurasian Coot and eagles like White Tailed Eagle, Red Kite, Osprey. But I saw also e.g. Black Kite, Marsh Harrier. If You follow from parking place direction to Beelitz, there is a walking track along the river. There is a small hill along the way. If You look carefully over You will see cranes and gooses very near. From the river is a way along the asparagous fields to another tower for birdwatching. Near the fields I saw e.g. Goldfinch, White Wagtail, Yellow Wagtail
