Dolgenbrodt: Anger Village, Dahme and Dolgensee

Dolgenbrodt combines the character of a small Anger Village with a landscape shaped by the different facets of a stay along the Dahme, Langer See and Dolgensee. On a walk, you can discover parts of the original building fabric; by the water, you’ll find a viewpoint, a place to rest and the bathing area on Langer See. When looking for accommodation, consider whether you’d like to focus your stay more on the village, cycling, the water or protected nature.

Anger Village, Forest and Lakes

Dolgenbrodt is surrounded by woodland and lies within a 6.9 km² triangular area between Langer See, which is part of the Storkow chain of lakes, and Dolgensee. The latter is designated as a nature reserve. The lakes and forest give the area a distinctly landscape-focused setting; the Anger Village also offers a reason of its own to explore Dolgenbrodt on foot. When planning your holiday, you can choose between a village walk and activities on or by the water, rather than trying to fit all your interests into the same kind of outing.

Getting Around on Foot and by Bike

A walk around the small Anger Village passes parts of its original building fabric. A detour to the Dahme offers a place to rest beside an old willow, where you can pause and look out over the river. There is also a viewpoint on the Dahme Bridge, with views over Dolgensee. The village walk, riverside rest and viewpoint each offer something different: the walk focuses on the village’s character, the willow on the Dahme and the bridge on the lake.

Since 2009, residents and tourists have been able to cross the river in Dolgenbrodt on foot or by bicycle via a cable-stayed pylon bridge. The bridge made the DahmeRadweg possible. The cycle route’s second stage continues towards Dolgenbrodt and Märkisch Buchholz. If you enjoy cycling, this connection gives you a specific reference point for planning your trip; the village walk and river crossing also appeal to visitors who want to explore Dolgenbrodt on foot.

Time by the Water at Langer See

The bathing area on Langer See offers opportunities for sport, play and relaxation. The beach is a grassy area, and the bathing area also has a volleyball court. This makes a visit to the lake different from a walk or a cycling stage: swimming, exercise and a break in the greenery take centre stage. As facilities may change, check the current status before your visit.

Dolgensee: Shoreline and Nature Conservation

The Dolgensee nature reserve extends across parts of Dolgenbrodt and Gussow. It protects rare and threatened wild plant communities, particularly the extensive shoreline vegetation. A small floating island in the western part of the lake is important as a breeding area for waterfowl. As a Natura 2000 site under the Habitats Directive (FFH), Dolgensee also covers a considerable area of 308 hectares. So, alongside views of the water, shoreline plants and the island’s importance for waterfowl also shape this natural environment. This protected landscape offers a different focus from the bathing area and its opportunities for sport and relaxation.

Choose the Focus of Your Stay

When choosing accommodation in Dolgenbrodt, consider what you most want to experience during your trip. Those who enjoy combining local history and scenery can explore the Anger Village on foot and visit the viewpoint. For cyclists, the river crossing and connection to the DahmeRadweg are of interest; those who mainly want to spend time by the water can consider the bathing area on Langer See. Dolgensee adds a protected shoreline landscape to these options. These different focuses can help you tailor your accommodation search to your planned interests, without making one type of outing the measure of your entire stay.
