The Franzosenstein On the shores of Lake Lindsee, this memorial stone commemorates the devastation of the Napoleonic Wars. On October 27, 1806, Baron Friedrich Leopold von Hertefeld was forced to hide in the forest for three days as marauding French troops wreaked severe havoc in Liebenberg. The losses in livestock and food, cash and household furnishings, as well as cultural assets such as books and paintings, totaled 24,350 Prussian thalers. His faithful housekeeper, Demoiselle Neumann, later had the memorial stone erected at her own expense.

Cycling can hardly be more beautiful than here - in the forest and close to the lake! The cycle path is beautifully curvy, but not too curvy. An experience!

A real idyll with a very attractive, diverse forest environment. Large stands of spruce trees and strong individual specimens. You can't go around the Papensee, but there are at least two good places to swim, and not just at the northern end!

A very friendly and welcoming shop. The cake is a real treat. €3 per slice is a great price for these delicious creations.

Memorial stone erected 39 years after the death of Karl von Hertefeld, which unfortunately is visibly weathering.
