The approximately 280-meter-long and 90-meter-wide forest lake is approximately five meters deep at its deepest point. It is located in the northern part of the "Sonnenburger Wald und Ahrendskehle" nature reserve. Formerly called the Black Pond, it was renamed the Devil's Lake almost 200 years ago. As part of the Hammerthal valley, there are many stories about the lake. Today, you can find numerous beaver tracks around the lake and several beaver lodges. A lawn invites you to linger, and the lake itself, of course, is a great place to cool off.

The Die Papenmühle stands by the Papenteich. The building itself was never a mill. Built in 1875, from 1905 a hotel with a restaurant, later a military hospital and now a residential building. The building fits wonderfully into the overall ensemble and is a real eye-catcher. The whole pond with the mill seems sooooo peaceful. Simply beautiful.
