A mysterious, seemingly lost place. Information is scarce, but I've found out what it really is. Villa Tiburtius. Built in 1927, the builder was August Tiburtius, a sculptor. There was an inscription, visible in some photos, but it has since been stolen by vandals. "Here I would like to dream / forever." The villa was then located in the middle of the Russian barracks area and continued to decay. Now, the house is barely discernible behind the reclaiming nature. So, unfortunately, Mr. Tiburtius couldn't dream in his villa for very long, sadly.

There's a sign here that says "large window," but you can't see anything because nature was quicker—if at all, a view of the lake was possible. Someone who got a bit confused by the many lakes on their hike named the highlight Lake Stechlin. It's actually Lake Röblin. You can't really confuse them.

During a vacation on the Mecklenburg Lake District, we also visited the town of Fürstenberg (Havel). Of course, we also stopped by the local Fürstenberg (Havel) train station. The Fürstenberg (Havel) train station has a well-maintained reception building and three platform tracks with a main platform and a central platform. We particularly liked the painting on one of the side surfaces of the station. https://www.bahnalltag.net/2023/01/Bahnhof-Furstenberg.html?m=1
