Flöten Boat Monument Ihlienworth

Highlight • Monument

An original "flute" is roofed at this beautiful rest area with a bench directly on the Medem river. At that time this boat was used to carry small loads (milk cans can be seen here). To control such a flute, a person stood upright in the barge and pushed forward with a long oar. Various information boards provide useful information. Definitely get off here!
