Besides the round silo, the Siemsen warehouse is another visual highlight in the harbor district... a beautiful brick building.

A lovely little hut right on the Osterbek stream... Perfect for a break with the relaxing sound of the babbling brook.

A beautiful tour, but really only accessible by mountain bike. The southern shore of the lake is only a hand-width path, often very muddy. Here, cycling and being considerate to pedestrians require your full attention, so the magnificent view isn't really appreciated.
