130 year old town windmill that ceased operations in 1954. No cloth-covered wings, but wings with flaps. Well renovated. To be visited (according to the notice on the door): Tuesday to Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., actually open until 12 noon on Saturday at the end of September.

Mountain biking

When circumnavigating the lake, it is worth taking a short detour to the windmill in Malchow.

Cycling

A bike ride to the Malchow town windmill is worthwhile in every respect: Built around 1843, this gallery-style windmill has been lovingly restored and impresses with its large, approximately 24-meter-long wind turbine. Visitors can enjoy exhibitions on mill technology, regional history, and the mill's own restoration work on several floors. The mill is not only a technical monument but also a cultural meeting place—especially during the annual Mill Festival on Whit Monday.
