The first pool is unfortunately not accessible because it is completely surrounded by land, the second only halfway.
There are some legends about the formation of the name, this one I like best: Satan threw a stone at the church in Wandlitz, but it fell into the lake next door - the big splashes then formed the Three Holy Puddles.

The Uferweg on the last of the three Pfühle, in front of the Regenbogensee, is very romantic.

Long ago, a giant is said to have lived in the forests around Wandlitz. However, he was disturbed by the morning ringing of Prenden's church bells. Enraged because he couldn't sleep, the giant took three giant strides toward Lake Wandlitz. These three strides created Lake Liepnitz and its island. Holding a large stone in his hand, the giant hurled it toward the church tower, but only hit Lake Wandlitz. The stone fell into the water. Three drops of lake water swirled through the air and fell into the forest. This is how the "Three Holy Puddles" on the outskirts of Wandlitz were created.
