A very nice rest area during a hike through these secluded woods. Please also take a look at the memorial stone.

Nice fishing pond of the ASV Köhlen (bathing is not allowed, not even for dogs). There is a large boulder on the bank. There are benches in different places. Here you can have a nice rest (and of course take your rubbish with you afterwards). A path leads around the pond.

The village church of St. Fabian is located in the middle of Ringstedt in the street "Am Osterkamp". It was named after the Roman bishop Fabianus. He is said to have died a martyr in 250. The Ringstedt Church is a simultaneous church used by the Evangelical Lutheran and Reformed congregations.
