The Dutch mill is located on the so-called Galgenberg in Turnow and has been family-owned since 1894. Visitors can learn interesting facts about the history and function of the mill. In the 1930s, the mill was technically upgraded. Since this conversion, the historical mill technology has been operated by an electric motor.

here is the former railway bridge of the Cottbus-Frankfurt route over the Malxe. The railway bridge was raised from the abutments of the railway line and stationed as a pedestrian bridge on the sidewalk about 5m away.

During the Vistula Ice Age, sand from the Lieberoser Heide was deposited in the form of dunes. During the construction of the Jänschwalde power plant and the resulting housing construction, sand was removed from the dune area and thus formed the Garkoschke from the original extraction point. It is therefore an artificial lake.

Holländermühle - large brick building, the four wings are no longer available. Interesting building, with a children's playground and covered seating areas to linger and have a picnic.
