What is "stobber"

The Stobber (in German more often called Stöbber) is the central river in the hilly landscape of „Märkische Schweiz“ and the Märkische Schweiz Nature Park, Brandenburg, Germany. The stream runs over a distance of 25 kilometers from the lowland moor and source area Rotes Luch towards the northeast through Buckow to the Oderbruch. The Stobber flows at Neuhardenberg to the „Friedländer Strom“, whose waters run over some canals to the Oder River → Baltic Sea. On a roughly 13 kilometer long route of its course there is designated the nature protection area „Naturschutzgebiet Stobbertal“. In Altfriedland the river passes the Damm-Mühle (water mill) and, directly alongside the Kietzer See (lake), a Special European Protection Area (SPA) for the conservation of wild living birds ( Birds Directive).
