The northern loop is interrupted by electric fences. Anyone who doesn't want to cross these and walk across the cow pasture will unfortunately have to turn back. The entrance to the southern loop no longer exists, as it now appears to be private property and is closed off by a gate. However, you can still walk around the lake (the path's entrance and exit would then be along the campsite) – at least as long as the small wooden bridge on the northern shore is still there. Shortly before the end of this loop, you are also forced to enter the campsite through a turnstile, which is actually prohibited according to the sign. If you can bear all this, it's a very pleasant and entertaining hiking experience. The Hexenstube restaurant/café is also recommended, where you can get snacks, homemade cakes, and drinks and enjoy them on the small terrace. A small pottery stall on the road not far away offers small works of art for sale.

The Havel [ˈhaːfl̩] is a river in northeastern Germany and, at 334 kilometers long, the longest right tributary of the Elbe. The direct distance between source and mouth is only 94 kilometers. The Havel rises in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, flows through Brandenburg, Berlin and Saxony-Anhalt and flows into the Elbe near Rühstädt on the border between Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt. 285 kilometers of river run through Brandenburg. It flows first through numerous small lakes in a southeasterly direction, then in a southerly, western and finally northwesterly direction. The difference in altitude is only 40.6 meters. With an average of 103 cubic meters per second, the Havel has the third largest volume of water among the tributaries of the Elbe after the Moldau (150 m³/s) and the Saale (117 m³/s). Most of the river is navigable. Weirs and locks regulate the depth and flow of the water almost throughout its entire course. Despite the expansion into a waterway,

Beautiful, iconic place to take a break. I can only recommend the cabbage soup. The price was OK. The landlady/boss was very nice and friendly. I would happily go there again. I hope the tower stays open.
