Beautiful swimming spot with a sunbathing lawn, a table-bench combination, a small jetty, and a parking lot directly at the swimming spot.

Very beautiful clear lake. Unfortunately, it has decreased significantly over the years.

The magnificent little village, located extremely lonely on the edge of the forest, is laid out in an L-shape and has beautiful half-timbered houses everywhere on both axes. Quite difficult to reach by car and bike due to the bumpy "road" full of cobblestones.

The boulder is a great place to sit, a lovely resting spot.

Picturesque in principle, yes, especially if it's flowering season, but as a cyclist you have to concentrate fully on the poor path. The concrete slabs are awful, and later in the small wood, it's even very steep uphill if you're heading towards Potzlow and have the great viewpoint as your destination. Cars also drive here, and it's very annoying every time you have to stop and get off your bike!
