Yes, that's a cool idea: they've placed stones in the water to cross the stream. The water is about 50cm deep, and the concrete blocks are correspondingly high and stable. You don't see that very often.

The fish ladder is presumably the stream's outflow to the Recknitz River. You practically pass by it automatically. A nice spot right next to the road. There's a separate bike path.

This pond can be found at the entrance to the valley. It appears to be dammed and overflows into the stream over a ledge. A very beautiful biotope. There are benches, but no designated swimming area.

A wonderful place to take a break. It's also a great place to transfer to the boat!

At the beginning, it's a very nice bike path with excellent asphalt. The middle section becomes a dirt road, which could be bumpy for narrow tires. After that, it's back to good asphalt. The scenery and tranquility are fantastic.

Emil Grumpelt was my father and narrowly escaped arrest at the time because, with the help of his brigade, he cleared out the remains of the original pond, which was filled with rubbish, ash and household waste, during the winter months and then created this attraction for many day trippers. Fortunately, the cultural added value counted more. It's nice that it's remembered that way.

The Tribohmer Teich, a reservoir, also known as “Emilsee” by local residents, was created in the 13th century for a mill. In 1930 the pond was drained and in 1987 the residents, initiated by Emil Grumpelt, dammed it up again in a night and fog campaign (hence the name). In 2011 the dam was destroyed by flooding. The pond ran empty. In 2014 the dam was repaired, the fish ladder was installed and the idyllic pond has existed again ever since.
