A narrow canal connects the lands of Gut Bossee with the Westensee. It was probably used for irrigation and drainage in the past. Near the lake shore there is still a weir system - apparently no longer used - with an associated weir house. Today the building in the middle of the forest is a lost place that is difficult to access.

The fortified house is located a little off the hiking trail at the mill ditch.
The older highlight photos show the changes since it was no longer maintained.
