The Altendorfer Pond is nature point 5 in Boizenburg. It is idyllically located between the historic ramparts and Markttorstrasse. The pond is an expansion of the outer moat with weeping willows, whose branches take root when they come into contact with water, and many species of fish. Two benches on the jetty invite you to take a break with beautiful views of the pond.
