A jogger was murdered here in 2013: https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/weltgeschehen/article117933407/Luebecker-Joggerin-Dreifacher-Familienvater-46-unter-Mordverdacht.html This memorial stone commemorates her.

The lake is very difficult to access, even though it's only a few meters from the patrol road... therefore, it's very peaceful here.

Here the path runs along the former inner-German border... even today you can hike along it on the Green Belt... although very beautiful nature awaits on both sides, hiking on these bumpy concrete slabs is very arduous.

The Kolonnenweg (conveyor path) was part of the inner-German border fortifications on the former GDR side. It was constructed from uniform, highly weather-resistant perforated concrete paving stones, most of which were overgrown with vegetation and thus firmly anchored to the ground. In contrast to the rest of the border fortifications, the Kolonnenweg (conveyor path) has largely been preserved even decades after the end of the GDR and today serves as a hiking and cycling path along the former border, although movement on the rather uneven surface caused by the eroding of the concrete cavities is sometimes very difficult. During the GDR era, it served the GDR border troops to reach every point on the border as quickly as possible by vehicle. Between the Kolonnenweg and the actual border were the control strip and the border fence or border wall. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolonnenweg
