At the trout pond, so slippery and bright, the tadpoles drone, the music of the waves. You cast the bait, the waves laugh, the trout pirouette – bright. A worm in the hat, the fishing rod purrs, the boat puffs, the cries tachy: "Fish, you're the star tonight, but look how nimble you are!" The fish look over with envy at the heroes who are counting money here. "Only with patience and a little courage, you'll catch us if you just do: Ruh'nfoot!" A child with fins, doing pull-ups carp-style, giggles: "More snacks, more style!" The pond side cheers, Mrs. Mustache sings: "Who knows the trick, who's got that thing?" In the end, alas, the pond remains clear, the trout laugh, the sun be. Because fishing is most fun when everyone stays fair – and no one gets wet.

The grounds of the former mill are not accessible. However, you can see the ruins from the road and the eastern side. East of the ruins is also a beautiful lake-sized pond.

From here, you can see a small island in the Viereggenhöfer Pond. It's probably smaller than the Langenwerder bird sanctuary. However, you can see the birds from the shore. It's not a bad idea to bring binoculars, though. The path along the shore was a dead end in June 2025 due to the blackberry bushes to the northwest.

Wismar Town Hall, like other Neo-Classical town halls in Mecklenburg-Schwerin, was planned and designed by court architect Johann Georg Barca and built between 1817 and 1819. The east wing was severely damaged during World War II. After the Second World War, the damage was repaired, and the heavy-looking façade was slightly reworked and smoothed in keeping with the systematic architecture of Socialist Neo-Classicalism. Since then, for example, the relief bands of the outer gables have been restored and set off as originally intended. The western section of the new building still retains older vaults and masonry remnants of the predecessor building from the second half of the 14th century.
