Busy canal. You can always see watercraft. There is a lovely resting place for water and land hikers right at the mouth of the lake.

Hikers (on water and on land), runners and cyclists can take a nice break here. A fantastic view over the lake and the traffic from the Jagow Canal. Everything in the shade of a large meadow. Beautifully green, quiet, idyllic. There is a covered bench and another one a little higher up under alders without a roof. From here you can also take a meadow path directly to the jetty next door or take a staircase to the Jagow Canal bridge.

A lovely resting place for water lovers and landlubbers. There are covered benches and some uncovered benches at a higher level. Not only does this offer a fantastic and beautiful view of the lake, but you can also watch the water traffic coming in and out. It is very noisy, especially in summer.
