Absolutely iconic, and as a solo piece, slightly elevated, it can be seen from afar. Located directly on the Havel Cycle Path.

The lake and its surroundings are impressive in their beauty. It's also a good place to observe the many geese, storks, and other waterfowl.

Without a doubt, one of the most interesting and unique rest stops I've ever seen on my travels. Not only does it look great, but you can also take shelter from the rain ;)

The trail is sandy, but still easily navigable with tires 45mm or wider. There are only a few isolated spots where the sand is really deep and difficult to navigate.

A definite tip for anyone bringing a tent: Call the harbormaster and announce your arrival. There aren't many water hikers, so cyclists are very welcome. If the restaurant is closed, you can even get drinks from the harbormaster.

Well-preserved post mill. Next to the mill there is a small covered pavilion. Good for a break!
