リューッベ湖でののおすすめグラベルライド

Hey everyone! - This is Gleuensee, not Fährkrug (somewhere else entirely). From the poorly maintained path and even from the short stretch of bike path, there are few views of this lake, which is really nothing special. It's almost impossible to get to it, only with difficulty, and you can't, or rather shouldn't, swim in it!

a house in the bulge of the wall

The Owl Tower, part of the fully preserved Templin city wall, built or rebuilt in the 14th century, strangely has a door high up at a height of 6 meters. From there, prisoners were lowered and forced to eke out their existence in the narrow, windowless room – absolutely gruesome! But the structure also had other functions. It served, of course, as a place of observation and also as a defense against attacks.

Don’t forget to check out the old carriage sheds at the parking lot entrance.

Very nice path for hiking and cycling (always along the lake)

Great cycle path from Templin through the forest

Actually, you would expect a town hall to be in the center of the city!

The angular Wiekhaus (Way House) in Templin is the only angular defensive structure incorporated into the city wall to increase its stability and security. All of the 52 remaining fortifications are semicircular. The word "Wiek" comes from Early New High German and means "to evade." The suffix "Haus" (house) was added because some of these structures were later supplemented with house-like superstructures. At the beginning of the 14th century, the original battlements of the Wiekhaus were adapted to accommodate the use of firearms. The loopholes were narrowed, and a second defensive platform was added to increase the defensive power.
