May 6, 2026, Auenblick Shelter with View of the Lenzen Elbe Floodplains

Nice observation point with view on both sides. Few meters higher than the area around. Open space all around. Access with gravel/mtb bike (35mm tyres minimum recommended). Most likely people around (shepherds, birds observers, fisherman pond close by with few cars parked).

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.

A very good shelter, also for the night. You shouldn't stay there for long if you have arachnophobia, as this shelter is heavily dominated by cross spiders.
