Here, where the signs "Spülfeld" stand, the camp's feces were dumped until the Rieselfelder were completed. Where the new building stands, there was a pumping station from 1906 that pumped the wastewater from the military camp to the Rieselfelder.

A beautiful drawbridge over the Stör.

Even though the tower was closed, it was still worth a short visit. An impressive building. And next to the tower there is a covered bench, which is a good place to take a break.

Nice shore paths and with a bathing area. Unfortunately, the latter is home to unpleasant clientele - as is often the case when larger towns are nearby.

The Bismarck Column was built from 1901, but it took 4 years to complete. It was built as a lookout tower, which is only accessible on certain dates. It is also remarkable that the Bismarck column stands on a burial mound. This dates from the Bronze Age and is one of 3 burial mounds at this point. In 1894 the burial mound had already flattened out to just 1 m. At the Bismarck Tower there is more information about the burial mound and the tower itself. There is also a modern shelter with a view of the tower and a hiking map. A nice intermediate destination on the tour!

Now there is also a new, small refuge here. Very nice, hopefully there won't be any rioting here...
