In the Larger Destination of Märkische Heide

The municipality of Märkische Heide lies east of the Unterspreewald, on the edge of the UNESCO Spreewald Biosphere Reserve, and extends across several protected landscape areas. In the Landgrabenniederung near Dürrenhofe is a meadow landscape covering around 420 hectares, with numerous narrow ditches and feeder ditches. The Landgraben runs through its center as the main watercourse. The preserved wet meadows provide resting and roosting places for waterbirds. An information point about the entire Landgrabenniederung is located on Kirchsteig in Dürrenhofe.

The larger destination of Märkische Heide also has a varied architectural history. The church in Groß Leuthen was consecrated in 1857, replacing an earlier building from the 16th century, and was constructed from bog ironstone in the Rundbogenstil, or round-arch style. Inside the church are the tombstones of the Schenk von Landsberg family, who built the Renaissance predecessor of the present-day church. In Kuschkow, a village church was built around 1830 to 1840 as a rectangular, plastered building in the round-arch style. In Pretschen, the ensemble of manor house, park and farmyard offers a vivid example of the agricultural history of Lower Lusatia.
