Ländchen Friesack
''Ländchen Friesack'' is a small ridge, up to 77 metres above sea level (NN). It is situated in Brandenburg, northwest of Germany's capital city, Berlin and southwest of the town of Friesack. The '' Ländchen'' (German for "small land" or "little territory") extends for just under 5 kilometres in a north-south direction and separates the lowland and former marshes of the Rhinluch in the north from that of the Havelland Luch in the south. The upland is almost entirely forested. It is divided into the parishes of Friesack, Kleßen-Görne and Mühlenberge. Part of the ''Ländchen'' – around the lake of Görner See – is a nature reserve A nature reserve (also known as a wildlife refuge, wildlife sanctuary, biosphere reserve or bioreserve, natural or nature preserve, or nature conservation area) is a protected area of importance for flora, fauna, funga, or features of geologic ....

Ländchen (Havelland)
A ''Ländchen'' (literally "little land" or "little country") is the German name given to several Ice Age plateaux in the Havelland region, which climb to over 70 metres above the formerly marshy ''urstromtal'' levels (old glacial meltwater valleys) of the Havelland Luch and the Rhinluch. The difference between these ''Ländchen'' and the surrounding countryside is even more marked because of the different land uses to which they are put. Extensive pastures in the lowlands contrast with the arable fields and woods on the low hills. Geologically they are largely complete formations of ground moraine from the Saale and Weichselian glaciations that, in places, are covered by gently rolling end moraines. Their names are: * Ländchen Bellin near Fehrbellin * Ländchen Friesack near Friesack * Ländchen Glien near Paaren im Glien north of Falkensee * Ländchen Rhinow near Rhinow near the confluence of the Rhin and the Havel * Land Schollene between Havel and the Elbe valley ...

Rhinluch
The Rhinluch is a fen landscape in the German state of Brandenburg, bisected by the river Rhin to which it owes its name. This wetland region lies north of Fehrbellin in the county of Ostprignitz-Ruppin. The upper Rhinluch covers an area of about . The suffix ''luch (landform), luch'' is used to describe several wet areas in the state of Brandenburg, in which, prior to the advent of modern Drainage system (geomorphology), drainage systems, water remained largely stagnant rather than flowing. The Rhinluch was formed during the last Weichselian glaciation, ice age and its Holocene, post-glacial period. About 16,000 years ago, the Eberswald ''urstromtal'' was formed by the meltwaters of the glacial ice sheet as they drained away to the sea. Later, this broad river valley dried up as the ice sheet retreated during the late ice age. In the land that makes up the present-day Rhinluch, lakes initially formed in individual places, especially where there were dead ice kettle holes. Over t ...

Havelland Luch
The Havelland Luch () is a lowland area inside a bend of the River Havel west of Berlin, and forms the heart of the Havelland region. Location The ''luch (landform), luch'', a former marshland, lies in a basin that is part of the Berlin ''urstromtal'', a meltwater valley that was formed here during the Weichselian glaciation about 18,000 years ago. It covers an area of about . To the east and northeast the Havelland Luch borders on a region called the ''Ländchen Glien'', to the south on the Nauen Plateau, to the west on the Rathenow moraine region, the ''Ländchen Friesack'' and the Zootzen. To the north it is separated from ''Ländchen Bellin'' by the ''Rhinluch'' region. Geology The Havelland Luch is mainly characterized by fen peat soils and peat soils that dried out after the land was drained. There are large areas where periglacial or fluviatile valley sands reach the surface. Mounds of ground moraine, more than ten metres high, pierce the surface of the ''luc ...

Nature Reserve (Germany)
A ''Naturschutzgebiet'' (abbreviated NSG) is a category of protected area (nature reserve) within Germany's Federal Nature Conservation Act (the ''Bundesnaturschutzgesetz'' or ''BNatSchG''). Although often translated as 'Nature Reserve' in English, the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) refers to them as 'Nature Conservation Areas'. It meets the criteria of an IUCN Category IV Habitat and Species Management Area.https://www.bfn.de/fileadmin/MDB/documents/themen/gebietsschutz/IUCN_Kat_Schutzgeb_Richtl_web.pdf Document of the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation of Germany Points of law The use of the term ''Naturschutzgebiet'' or terms that could be confused with it for anything other than the legally protected areas is forbidden under this law. Signage Because legal restrictions are placed on activity within German nature reserves they have to be signed on the ground. Only by this means can e.g. walkers know that they are entering a nature reserve and may not e. ...

Havelland
Geographically, the Havelland () is the region around which the River Havel flows in a U-shape between Oranienburg to the northeast and Rhinow to the northwest. The northern boundary of the Havelland is formed by the River Rhin and the Rhin Canal. In the history of Brandenburg, the Havelland represents a historic region. In the heart of the Havelland is the Landkreis Havelland, county of the same name. In addition the Havelland includes the south of Ruppin Land with the Rhinluch, the western part of Berlin's Spandau, parts of Potsdam, the town of Brandenburg an der Havel and several villages in the county of Potsdam-Mittelmark. The Tourist Association of Havelland has chosen a rather different boundary. It covers the county of Havelland, the town of Brandenburg an der Havel and the northern part of the county of Potsdam-Mittelmark, including communities south of the Havel river, that belong to the region of Zauche. The writer Theodor Fontane described the Havelland as well as t ...
