Those who walk along the path near the shore will enjoy many beautiful views of the lake, but few good opportunities for swimming. Here is one of the best. A large meadow, benches, and two excellent entrances into the water. Just above the embankment, you can see a ruined building of the former Lychen pulmonary sanatorium rising above the trees. But the fully fenced-in grounds are no longer a lost place. Many of the buildings have been stylishly renovated, creating a first-class park-like property. There are exclusive apartments and even vacation apartments available for short-term rentals!

The town of Lychen was founded as early as 1248. Lychen has a baroque town hall on the market square, which was originally built on the site of an older town hall. Over the course of history, it experienced several fires: in 1633 there were great devastations due to a fire, and in 1732 the town hall burned down to the foundations again. In 1748, the reconstruction took place as a two-story baroque plastered building with a tower and a mansard roof. In 1817, the town hall received a tower clock. In 1945, it burned down partially again. The final reconstruction took place in 1956/57, but without a tower and without a clock for cost reasons. In front of the town hall stands an oversized thumbtack, which was invented in Lychen in 1903 by Johann Kirsten. Today, the town hall serves as the seat of the Lychen town administration, is centrally located on the market square and in the center of the town.

The Schäferwiese in Lychen is the town's largest playground and is located directly on the shore of Lake Oberpfuhl, near the Templiner Tor (Templiner Gate). The Schäferwiese is a central point for water sports activities, as it serves as the portage point for canoes and rafts that must be transported across the road from higher-lying lakes like Lake Oberpfuhl to the lower-lying Stadtsee (city lake).
