Tips from the Community

Matthias Herrera Glomm
May 24, 2026, Dorfteich in Pommritz

Anyone traveling with children should definitely check out the goat stall of Thomas and Ilona. And if you arrive at the right time (5-6 PM), you can watch the goats being milked. A wonderful place!

The courtyard of the former knight's estate looks a bit closed off today. On the sign at the entrance it says "Private property - Entry at your own risk". So go in at your own risk and look at the small park on the property. It is not particularly well-maintained, but with the old trees and the view of the manor building, it simply looks beautiful.

Village pond in Pommritz. A small village pond, perfect for a short break. Located right next to the LebensGut Pommritz (Pommritz Life Estate).

Perfect place to refresh your feet in the shade of the trees, for children to experiment or as a bathing place for dogs

This "Lausker Schanze" is notable for the fact that on the top of the rampart there is a romantic ruin built in Gothic style in 1807. This served as an observation tower until the middle of the 20th century, but has since become a "real" ruin.
