テセノウの天然記念物・トップ7

The 23-hectare protected forest serves to preserve and develop a groundwater-influenced pedunculate oak-hornbeam forest with holly, as well as stands of alder and ash, while simultaneously safeguarding the water balance and habitats of endangered plant species. As a particularly valuable remnant of such a mixed deciduous forest in the sparsely wooded Prignitz region, it is being scientifically monitored long-term and without direct human intervention to study forest development, soil, flora, fauna, and natural self-organization processes. At the same time, the area functions as a forestry demonstration plot, conserves forest genetic resources, and contributes to the long-term preservation of biodiversity in self-regulating communities.

A very nice place to linger, in the middle of nature, with the gentle rippling of the spring

The source here is located in the northern part of the Wockersee and west of the Wocker tributary.

Iron oxide was found deposited at this spring. This can be seen in the pipe and the stones, which have a reddish color. However, there is so little that it is not a mineral spring. The measurement of the nitrate content showed a low value, so the water quality is good. The pH value showed a value between and 8. This is an alkaline value. Therefore, this spring can be described as an alkaline spring.

Here you can find information about the Landwehr in this region around Parchim, as well as the history of the Dömitz-Parchim cycle path from 1991

The legend about the "Broad Stone": A wedding party came back from the wedding ceremony in Slate to Kiekindemark (Look in the Mark). Everyone had celebrated hard and lost their way at midnight in the Sonnenberg. Suddenly an old woman stood in front of them and asked for a gift. She was then laughed at by the tipsy wedding guests. This old woman was a witch who was so angry at being laughed at that she turned the carriage containing people and cattle to stone. The starting point of the search is the small village of Kiekindemark with a forest farm, game gate and show garden. https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC46PVA_wider-stein?guid=202f03cb-d31b-4afd-8aa3-6a69a99719b6

According to legend, there are seven boys who once looked after the horses of the Spornitz farmers and played skittles with sausages and balls made of breadcrumbs to pass the time. As punishment, they were turned to stone. When the Spornitz miller used one of the stones for his garden wall, it began to bleed. He quickly brought it back to its original place, where it has remained untouched and undisturbed along with the other stones to this day. https://www.die-lewitz.de/lewitz_erleben/Gesucht-und-found/Orte/spornitz/

Here it goes to the seven stones. A great place for a break and a bit of culture and WARNING: horror. The story of the stones is on the signs by the wood, there is also a fireplace, benches and shade. It is also a little quieter than on the street. If you are looking for less culture and tranquility or are afraid of the dirt road to the forest, you can also use the bench right here for a rest.
