Rest area and lakeside benches at Arendsee

Highlight • Rest Area

Great rest house right on the lake promenade. The food (fries with currywurst) was exceptionally tasty. I didn't expect that. Highly recommended.

Queen Arendsee Paddle Steamer

Highlight • Structure

I found the old sea eagle (now to be found at the Arendsee bypass) more beautiful :-)

But even on the new boat, the one-hour trip is great for exploring the sea.

Former East German Border Watchtower Near Nienwalde

Highlight • Historical Site

This old DDR border tower stands between Nienwalde and Bömenzien. You can very well experience the old inner German border (green belt) and guess how it looked like this time.

Wonderful cycling 🚴 always in or along the forest 🌳🌲 and lake 🏖️. Except for the patrol path, which wasn't so great, you had to be careful not to bite your tongue 👅. But it wasn't designed for cycling... but for protection against capitalism...😂🤣🙋🏼‍♂️
