The Krausnick hills[1] (German: Krausnicker Berge) are a small range of hills in Eastern Germany in the federal state of Brandenburg.

Name and location

The Krausnick hills are named after the village of Krausnick to their south. Their highest point is the Wehlaberg at 144 metres above sea level. The Krausnick hills form the boundary between the Spreewald to the southeast and the Dahmeland to the northwest. Both the hills themselves and the adjacent lakes (the Heideseen and Luchsee) belong to the Spreewald Biosphere Reserve and are popular tourist destinations.
