This observation post is located right next to a pond, so the viewing windows are very small. Unfortunately, vegetation here and there prevents perfect observation, but if you have enough patience, you can watch the birds up close. On the outside there are plenty of information boards about all the inhabitants of this landscape.

The "hide" was built especially for people with disabilities. It offers ground-level access and plenty of space to move around and observe. In gratitude and memory of our honorary board member Walter Reuter, who was only called "Busch" by his friends, the observation hide was named "Busch-Hide"."

The Green Belt: From the Death Strip to the Life Line Germany was divided for almost 40 years. The inner German border was strictly guarded with high walls, barbed wire and watchtowers. At the same time, it gave nature a breathing space: the border strip became a refuge for more than 1,200 rare and endangered plant and animal species. The BUND has created one of the largest and most important nature conservation projects here since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Source and further information: https://www.bund.net/gruenes-band/

The inner courtyard is well worth seeing with the Palas, the cistern, its half-timbered buildings and the medieval castle garden. Everything is renovated and beautifully prepared.
