Surprise! What is there in the forest? A small information board about the use of this (border) tower would not be bad.

Interesting building. Probably from GDR times. Or even older?

I've seen many high seats but not one that high. That's a high seat in the truest sense ;)

Walking on the Hoch Ufer path you can feel two worlds, the sound of the waves in one ear and the singing of the birds in the forest in the other ear, absolutely recommended.
