It's a shame the mill is no longer in operation, but it's still an interesting building.

Located right on the beautiful lake, very quiet. It's a shame that there is no longer a wheel on the mill.

Very nice rest area on the edge of the Frankenmoor, which can only be circumnavigated on the wide farm roads.

Quiet, beautiful resting place with a roof and an interesting information board about the Frankenmoor. In the direction of Bargstedt, the dirt road to the right is the nicer option, because the path is paved shortly afterwards and leads over a small avenue with old trees.
