Tips from the Community
Opposite the cemetery in Probsteierhagen stands Jo Kley's "Love Knot" – a really cool stone sculpture that plays on the theme of "staying connected." Just take a quick look, admire it, and then continue strolling through the village.

In the small forest by the lake, you can discover numerous Passader Stone Trolls – please don't take them with you! (Unless they're from the box with the travel-loving trolls ;-))
