The ehemaliger Blankenfelder See is a unique nature reserve located in Blankenfelde-Mahlow, Brandenburg. Once a prominent lake, the area has transitioned into a fascinating silted-up marshland where the Glasowbach stream flows. Visitors can explore the area via a well-signposted circular nature trail that offers several rest areas and a dedicated viewing platform on the western side. It is a popular spot for dog walking and hiking, though the paths are often shared with cyclists. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the chance to spot local wildlife, including kingfishers. While the proximity to the motorway can introduce some noise, the reserve provides a rewarding experience for those seeking a natural retreat near the city.

The ehemaliger Blankenfelder See is highly regarded for its scenic beauty and peaceful hiking trails, particularly the circular nature trail. Reviewers frequently mention that the lake has largely silted up, creating a marshy environment that is home to wildlife like kingfishers. The signposted circular nature trail is a highlight, featuring rest areas and a viewing platform on the western side. However, some reviewers note that the experience can be marred by the smell of stagnant water in the Glasowbach stream and noise from the nearby motorway. Additionally, hikers should be prepared to share the paths with cyclists, which some find disruptive. Despite these points, it remains a popular destination for locals, dog walkers, and those seeking a quiet outdoor escape.
