There's nothing else like it on the island, and it's well worth a detour and a brief pause: the horse cemetery near Boldevitz. Here lie the four-legged companions of the von der Lancken family. The gravestones, some with very weathered inscriptions, stand at the foot of a magnificent pedunculate oak. The adjacent information panel states the age of this "natural monument, the mother oak," at 400 to 500 years.

There are three free options for parking your car and then starting your hike: The official car park is at Stadthof (east of the lake), or you can park in Parchtitz (approaching from the west), or in the large Familia car park and then cross the B96 (this is how you get to the lake from the south).

You can hear and smell them from afar: the cormorant colony at Nonnensee. At the beginning of the 20th century, this bird was almost extinct; only the granting of protected status in the early 1980s enabled the population to almost fully recover. Since then, it has been regulated by natural predators and competition among itself. High up in the trees, they stack sticks and twigs to form nests, making a lot of noise. Fun fact: To enable the cormorant to reach its diving depth of up to 9 meters, its plumage is not oiled. Therefore, we see the birds in their typical posture, with their wings open, drying their feathers in the sun.
