Even in winter, this is a worthwhile hike. The paths were cleared, and the snow-covered trees and the Teufelspfuhl (Devil's Pool) are a photographer's dream.

The gasometer, with a height of approx. 21 m and a diameter of 12.60 m, was built in 1867. The striking building, in three graduated shades of blue, welcomes visitors arriving in Bernau via the adjacent state road L 200.

The newly built gate has stood since 2013 exactly where the previous building was. This had to be demolished in June 1885 because carts could hardly pass through the then dilapidated gate on Mühlenstraße - today even the fire brigade can get through. The gate is about 8.80 meters wide, 8.50 meters long and 14.60 meters high.
