This is the old village oak tree of Wentdorf, a natural monument. Those traveling along the Fläming-Skate can take a break on a bench here.

The landscape is vast, beautiful and simple. Apart from the tree-lined paths and forest areas that move like backdrops, the wind turbines act as space-forming elements and do not actually disturb the landscape.

After mill operations ceased at the end of the 1960s, the mill technology fell into disrepair. When the bridge was renewed in 1995/96, the mill technology and the turbine were removed. A new Zuppinger water wheel was installed and also used to generate electricity. The mill building was renovated from 1996 to 1998
