The detour to the wandering dune is a real highlight of a tour through the Lübtheen Heath. It's an ideal spot for a photo of the dune and heath landscape.

The old fieldstone church was built around 1256 and served as a place of worship for the surrounding villages of the Alt Jabel community until a new one was built in 1908. The attic and a wooden bell tower were demolished, and the church remains were left to their own devices. The church ruins have now been restored and secured.
