Old GDR border tower, which is not accessible (there is an accessible border tower, for example, at the ferry dock near Lenzen). Right next to the border tower, however, there is a small rest area with a covered table and two benches, which is a good place to take a break, e.g. during a bike ride.

This old DDR border tower stands between Nienwalde and Bömenzien. You can very well experience the old inner German border (green belt) and guess how it looked like this time.
