Tips from the Community
Farmer Berthold from Kablow – identical to the Farmer Berthold sculpture. One highlight, two names, two red dots. Same figure, same location, but twice the chance of likes. Consistent for collectors of Pioneer Points, but rather… creative for the map overview.

The approximately 2.30-meter-tall oak sculpture "Farmer Berthold from Kablow" was created by chainsaw artist Roland Karl. The clever man from Kablow got into a fight with the knight Syben from Senzig and was ultimately hanged. However, he twice escaped death through cunning and was ultimately pardoned. He was able to return to his family.

The hiking trail around the lake is marked. The markings aren't always clearly visible, but since the trail always follows the water, they're unnecessary.

The circular path around the clay ponds is beautiful in any season. However, in summer, expect mosquitoes.

There's a large nudist campsite at the large clay pond, and some private properties on the north shore. You can access the latter if you stay on the hiking trail.
