If you're lucky, the soft serve ice cream truck will be there. The plain vanilla soft serve is the best.

The view of the lake and the surrounding landscape is simply stunning, perfect for letting your gaze wander far out over the water. A truly beautiful spot. Just stop for a moment and take in the beautiful perspectives. An ideal spot for photos and a short rest. It's worth it!

The view of Lake Plauer See near Lenz is wide and open – a perfect place to enjoy the expanse of the water. From here, you can see across the gently curved bay to the opposite, wooded shores. The shore near Lenz is slightly elevated, so the lake spreads out like a tranquil mirror, often rippled by gentle waves or small boats. On a clear day, the view stretches far across the lake, while the light constantly changes and reflects on the water's surface. Especially in the morning or evening, the scenery is particularly atmospheric – ideal for a photo, a rest, or simply a moment to pause.

Basedow Castle is a real eye-catcher and beautiful to look at. Together with Lenné Park and the small village with the village church, it forms a wonderful ensemble. Unfortunately, the castle itself can only be partially visited as part of a guided tour. But it is also worth seeing from the outside. There is a small path leading directly around the castle. The park is free and freely accessible and it is also worth taking a long walk here. The reflection of the castle in the adjacent village pond is also beautiful!👌 - why they have created several highlights for the same thing here is a mystery to me, as it is completely unnecessary! -

The village church is an imposing building that you wouldn't really expect in this area. The church is located on Schloßstraße and is not far from the castle. A visit to the church is definitely worthwhile. The opening times are as follows: 01.05. - 31.10: Tuesday to Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. For me personally, the altarpiece is the highlight of the church. - why they have created several highlights for one and the same thing is a mystery to me, as it is completely unnecessary! -

The highlight is the church and not the parsonage opposite, which is unfortunately often photographed incorrectly here. The village church can be seen from far away thanks to the large church tower. The church is a classic fieldstone church and the church fence and cemetery are also made of fieldstone.
