Idyllic campsite with access to the water, also for motorboats. Friendly owners, there is a small kitchen and miner's schnapps is served in crooked glasses. Definitely fun!

The coal mined by the Malliß brickworks and mining company was of good quality and was soon able to secure a fairly large market. Not only was the entire firing requirement of the brickworks and the steam sawmill, also located on the Elde Canal, covered, but the coal was also transported by water up the Elde to Malchow. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braunkohlenbergwerk_Malliß_(Unterflöz)
