Tips
Not far from the Havelland motorway triangle and somewhat hidden in the forest, you will find Reckin's grave. According to legend, he is said to have hid himself as a kind of partisan fighter in a hollow oak during Napoleon's foreign rule and shot at French soldiers from there. He was later discovered, shot himself and buried there in the forest. Another version says that the story is said to have happened in a similar form at the time of the Swedish Wars around 1675.
