In Greek mythology, the god Apollo (also known as Apollon) was associated, among other things, with the famous Oracle of Delphi. According to tradition, the last oracle pronouncement of the Pythia (the title of the resident seer/fortune-teller) in the second half of the fourth century – that is, when Christianity was spreading – is said to have been: “Tell the king, the beautifully built house has fallen. Phoibos Apollo has no refuge anymore, the sacred laurel withers, his springs are silent forever, the murmuring of the water is stilled.”

The Hardenbeck church is a fieldstone building originally dating from the 13th century, first mentioned probably in 1271 in connection with the founding of the Cistercian monastery of Boitzenburg. During the Thirty Years' War, the village, including the church, was destroyed in 1634, and Hardenbeck remained uninhabited for almost 100 years. From 1721 onward, Georg Dietloff von Arnim promoted the settlement of farmers and initiated the reconstruction of the church in 1744. The pulpit was also created during this period, although its exact date of origin between 1750 and 1790 is disputed. The timber-clad tower with its open lantern was erected in 1760/61. Two different types of "checkerboard" stones are incorporated into the church's structure: a Johanniter cross stone is located at the southeast corner of the church, and a checkerboard stone can be seen high up on the north side.

Varied trails, far from the road, with frequent forest taverns for a break and plenty of information boards. Everything is very well maintained.

Admission is free. The goats are completely peaceful and enjoy being scratched behind the ears.

The large meadow with a playground and a few benches is certainly the most pleasant place to spend time at the Oberpfuhl and in the Lychen town area. Boats can dock, and you could even go on a boat tour yourself, but unfortunately, there's no suitable swimming spot. No water treading either. - Still. It's absolutely idyllic here, not least because of the beautiful tall trees and the peninsula-like shape of the area.

A hand-driven ferry for a handful of pedestrians. Not sure if they take bikes.
