The smooth snake is an almost unknown creature in Germany. The second most common snake species after the grass snake lives mostly in hiding, also due to its grey-brown camouflage colouring. In the Schlaubetal, however, a ranger has been on its trail for years. At three checkpoints on the edge of the Schlaubetal near Müllrose (Oder-Spree), ranger Nico Brunkow carefully and with a searching eye lifts dozens of pieces of roofing felt or metal sheets that were previously weighted down with stones.
