Tips from the Community
The operator has changed over the course of this year. There's a new Greek restaurant on the same site. It's no longer called "Syrtaki," but "Kreta." (I just submitted a name change suggestion for this highlight to Komoot.) We ate there on August 28, 2025, and were completely satisfied—very delicious! 🙂

The camel farm has been closed for several years. It is now occupied by the Sternberg Riding Stables.

You'll be only too happy to linger here a little longer... and jump right into the lake with your cycling shorts on :) A small sandy beach, crystal-clear water, nature at its most beautiful. A wonderful spot!

In the 9th and 10th centuries, the Warnowers, a Slavic people, settled on the lake, built a mighty ring wall on the (then) island and thus a castle that could only be reached via a bridge, and their village on the headland in front of it. All of this was excavated again (from 1973 onwards), and because everything was well preserved by the moor, it became an open-air museum and we can look at it. Very interesting, highly recommended. (Now in the off-season, the whole thing is even free.)
