At this point, the West German area jutted pointedly into the GDR, the next place in the West is Wirl, hence Wirler Spitze as it seems, it was one of many visitor points to look into the East. Opposite the Spitze on the Kolonnenweg stood an observation tower (BT) a small sand hill or dune named Klocksberg, here you can move freely today, in all directions! There are some nature conservation projects: biotopes, pulling pines, etc. It should also be a place of remembrance and reflection. 2 posts of the border fence have remained

On the Altmark side, there is a rest area, unfortunately only in the shade, with information about nature conservation along the Green Belt.

Pretty guesthouse - very remote - very quiet. Great to reach by MTB (also for kids).

“The vendace are still warm from smoking. This morning they were still swimming in the lake.” Here, smoked fish from our own catch is served on the table. You can feast on iron benches in the shady forest garden. The family business is located directly on the circular path around Lake Arendsee, you can't miss it. The prices are fair. Recommendation!

Really tasty, uncomplicated and everything is harmonious! Just fits. Should not be missed! Not an insider tip, but if you drive past you're missing something.
