Although Wustermark is on the outskirts of the capital city of Berlin, visitors to the town soon discover the unspoilt countryside around the town. Characteristic of the Havelland region is the Havel river and its many lakes which are dotted across a broad landscape of wide meadows and large expanses of forest. The Döberitzer Heide nature conservation area and the Westhavelland nature reserve ensure that rare species of local plants and animals are protected for future generations.Döberitzer Heide nature conservation area
