The windmill at Gut Manhagen (built in 1832, source: Gut Manhagen) is a historic smock mill and part of the listed estate complex in the Westensee Nature Park. The mill stands on the estate grounds and is not readily visible from public footpaths, thus appearing as a rather hidden testament to the region's agricultural heritage.

Mangalitza pigs, also known as Mangalica, are an old Hungarian breed of pig dating back to the 19th century. Their densely curled, almost woolly coat is striking, giving them a more sheep-like appearance than that of typical domestic pigs. These animals are robust, well-adapted to free-range farming, and slow-growing. Their meat is highly marbled and very fatty, which gives it an intense flavor. Therefore, Mangalitza pigs are primarily valued for high-quality products such as ham, bacon, and salami, rather than lean cuts. After nearly disappearing at one point, the breed is now being selectively bred again – as a conscious alternative to industrial pig farming.
