If you're at the barbecue hut, you should take a moment and walk about three minutes down to the Elbe beach...it's even worth cooling your feet for a bit, fantastic!

I agree with Uta Fischer's comments. It's truly a great place for a rest or even an overnight stay.

A very good shelter, also for the night. You shouldn't stay there for long if you have arachnophobia, as this shelter is heavily dominated by cross spiders.

A great, quiet place with deck chairs on the Elbe, a restaurant and kiosk that is open at weekends and, especially, the possibility of staying overnight in the Hütten Hotel, really in small houses with everything you need, highly recommended and idyllic in a place steeped in history.

Wooden lookout open on three sides in the Lenzen-Wustrow Elbe lowlands. Nice place for a break or to observe and photograph wild animals and birds. However, in windy or stormy conditions it is very drafty as three sides of the hut are open. The landscape in the area is beautiful and you have a great view over the Elbe. The lookout is close to the Elbe cycle path, so I often take a break here when I'm cycling on the Elbe cycle path. I also like coming to this area to take photos of the starry sky, as the light pollution is fairly low here. However, there is also some light pollution here, in a southwesterly direction from the Gorleben interim storage facility, which is very brightly lit at night, and in an easterly direction from the town of Wittenberge, which is approx. 30km away.
