On the Berlin-Copenhagen cycle path east of Lake Krakow near the small town of Neu Dobbin, the observation tower at the former milking parlor invites you to linger. The observation tower "Paradiesgartenblick am alten Melkstand" offers fascinating views of the Krakow lake landscape and is located between the towns of Neu Zietlitz and Neu Dobbin. In 2010, Wilfried Baldermann, mayor of Dobbin-Linstow, inaugurated the observation tower with its wonderful view of Lake Krakow and the landscape. The observation platform owes its nickname "Am alten Melkstand" to the fact that cows were still milked here until 1969.

The Shepherd's Beech is a red beech in the municipality of Dobbin-Linstow in the Rostock district. With a trunk circumference of over 8 meters and a height of 23 meters, it is one of the largest known beech trees in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This remarkable and special landmark in the field was designated a natural monument in 1987 by a resolution of the Güstrow district council. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sch%C3%A4ferbuche As the beech was attacked by the fungus and can no longer be saved, the former cycle path was relocated to avert dangers for cyclists. This means that the tree can remain standing in peace.

Here on the eastern shore of the Krakower Obersee nature reserve there was a Slavic settlement that probably included a small fortification or castle. This is where Alt Dobbin, the origin of the current village, was located. Here you are very close to the nature reserve and can, for example, observe grey geese up close.
