On the information board in front of the deep pond, you can learn all sorts of unfathomable stories about the origin of the deep hole. The pit is surrounded by the huge rampart bastion, the so-called Dreiwall bastion, which – as the name suggests – served to protect the Hanseatic city in three ramparts. Overall an impressive structure! About the legend: http://www.lexikus.de/bibliothek/Die-Dreiwalls-oder-Teufelshoehle-bei-Rostock

Quiet path - you have a very nice view over the landscape and hear the Baltic Sea more with every step. I think the animals are more likely to be seen from early summer - but I heard a lot of birds.
