Kremmener Luch

The Kremmener Luch is the historically Kremmen belonging part of the Rhinluches. The west adjoining area was called Flatower Luch, the north adjoining summer fields Luch, the northeast adjacent Schleuener Luch. In the south the Kremmener Luch from the plateau of the ganglia is limited. With the incorporation of the neighboring towns Flatow, Beetz and Sommerfeld Kremmen to their shares in the Luch are increasingly attributed to the Kremmener Luch, so that it now extends to the north of the forested moraine Birkholzgrundes. The entire Rhinluch is a flat area of ​​marshland in Brandenburg. It lies entirely within the Eberswalde glacial valley. The Luch was originally fed by seepage water of the adjacent plateaus.

The Rhin wore into additional water, but dehydrated due to its very low gradient here is not effective the area. The waterlogging was the cause of the previously mentioned Vermoorung. Since the existence of the Ruppin channel a portion of the Rhinwassers flows in the opposite direction from east toward Havel and thus contributes to meeting the water needs of the city of Berlin. Nestled in the Luch is the Kremmener lake which was made ​​in 1924 under nature protection. The reserve now covers 1100 hectares. Here it is still possible to observe cranes, beaver and otter. 300 years ago has begun to dry up the Kremmener Luch. Today, the majority is therefore usable for agriculture though, and has thereby lost its Luchcharakter. By Luch results of Kremmer Damm, the only road link to the north, and the railroad track Kremmen - Neuruppin.
