History & character.
Character
Die Dosse ist ein ca. 96 km langer rechter Nebenfluss der Havel und entspringt auf einer Hochfläche am nördlichen Rand der Prignitz im Grenzgebiet zwischen Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und Brandenburg. Sie mündet bei Havelberg in die Havel und gilt mit ihrem Mix aus Salmoniden- und Allgemeingewässer als eines der vielfältigsten Angelgewässer Brandenburgs.
Water structure
Im Bereich Wittstock 5–10 m breit mit überwiegend sandigem Grund. Nach dem Wehr der Scharfenberger Mühle bis zur Baumannbrücke oberhalb Fretzdorf mäandriert die Dosse durch Felder und Wald in einer schmalen Aue. Tiefe meist 0,5–1,5 m, in Kolken bis 2 m. Im Sommer kann Krautwuchs die Bewirtschaftung einschränken.
Nature & history
Die Dosse trieb historisch zahlreiche Mühlen an – die Scharfenberger Mühle in Wittstock ist eine der bekanntesten. Heute ist der Fluss durch den Kreisanglerverband Ostprignitz-Ruppin bewirtschaftet, mit ausgewiesenen Salmonidenstrecken und einem allgemeinen Abschnitt bei Wittstock.
