The hunting lodge (1776) is fantastically located above the lake and has been fundamentally renovated in recent months - which visually gives it a somewhat modern touch (especially due to the new bricks)

Well-maintained wooden bridges, where people can easily pass each other, are definitely a highlight for me, unlike metal bridges that rattle when you walk on them or pinch dog paws.

Here, the E6 and E1 run parallel to each other... If you are traveling on either of the two routes, you can see how many kilometers you have already covered and how many are still ahead.

From the pretty bridge you have a magnificent view of the unspoiled Schwentine river.
