The village church was rebuilt around 1882, using building materials from the old fieldstone structure dating back to the 13th century. The original part of this fieldstone church includes the preserved east gable with its lancet windows and the nine fitted checkerboard stones. The relatively high number of these ornamental stones used is unique in Germany.

Right next to the road, but protected by rows of trees.

The tour starts at Wendisch Rietz train station. There are plenty of parking spaces here, and there's also a stop for those traveling by train.

The agricultural property on the eastern shore of Lake Scharmützelsee was first mentioned in documents in 1851 as "Theresienhof". It originated from a water mill. Well-known private owners included the actress Ernestine Wegner and the Renz circus family. Owned by various companies and institutions since 1918, the "Theresienhof" was used as a recreation and holiday home or training facility. In 2008, the main building, often referred to as a castle, was demolished. The striking villa ("Swedish house") built in 1911 remained.

From this inconspicuous train station at the southwestern end of Lake Scharmützelsee, you can take trains to Berlin or Frankfurt/Oder on weekdays from five in the morning until after midnight.

The lock, which has existed since 1865, was renovated in 1965 with concrete chamber walls and automated in 2004. The lock is activated using the request levers at the waiting points in the respective outer harbor. During operation in the summer months, up to 10,000 pleasure boats are on the move here. It is one of three locks that must be overcome on the way from Berlin to Scharmützelsee.
