Tips
To mark the 200th anniversary of Fontane's birthday in 2019, sixteen panels with quotes from Theodor Fontane were put up. The Berlin writer and journalist passed by here on his Easter hike through the Mark Brandenburg in 1881. The highlight is this steel telescope with the title "View into Nothingness". It refers to a sentence by Fontane from 1881: "There is nothing in Saarow, I know that, and here in Pieskow there is nothing at all."
