Monument - rest area - stamping point

At this point is the beautiful and very well preserved monument by Friedrich Wilhelm Leopold Pfeil. It was built in memory of him by his students. He was a forest practitioner, forest scientist, and writer. From 1830 he headed the Higher Forestry School in Eberswalde and published 24 books and 700 forestry treatises.

Several tables and benches are available here for resting. The stamping point for the Harz hiking pin no.68 is also located here.

A very beautiful and memorable place that invites you to linger.

He actually wanted to be buried here. His students have erected a memorial for him here.
