A half-timbered church worth seeing, with a long, interesting history that is worth a detour from the tour for a visit. The farmers in Potzehne used the peace period between the second and third wars to obtain permission from the Prussian King Frederick II (known as the Old Fritz) to build a half-timbered church with a bell tower. This released them from the obligation to go to Jerchel for church services. Source and further information about the church: http://www.pfarrstelle-letzlingen.de/unsere-kirchen/kirche-potzehne/

On the bank in front of the castle, on a ledge, is the cannon area, which was created for a cannon named Le Flambard that was captured in the Franco-Prussian War. The cannon was moved to Silesia in 1938. Today's cannon was acquired by the municipality of Flechtingen through donations in 2004. The new cannon weighs 1,400 kilograms and, at 5.31 meters long, is larger than the previous La Flambard.

A narrow road, with great asphalt and almost no traffic on a Saturday afternoon, which winds gently up and down through forests and fields.
