Not so exciting as a highlight, but practical as an underpass. Otherwise, you'd have to drive to Aumühle or Friedrichsruh to get to the other side.

The museum, in which photography is unfortunately prohibited, houses a large number of memorabilia and devotional objects. Some have already been described here. Worthy of note is Werner's famous painting of the proclamation of the empire in Versailles, which is found in every history book and was given to the chancellor by Wilhelm I. There is also a huge full-length portrait of Wilhelm II here, which the young emperor presented to his deposed chancellor along with his dismissal certificate and which was probably intended to show Bisnarck the cramped living conditions. A portrait from "glorious times" that may have clashed somewhat with the rooms of the old inn that had been converted into a "castle". Bismarck then took revenge with his epitaph "A loyal servant of Wilhelm I". Also worth seeing is the damaged shirt darned by his wife after the assassination attempt and an early photograph of the still young Bismarck. One of the many artistic greetings for his 80th birthday makes you smile: a Bavarian brewery sent the “Father” a dialect poem as an accompaniment to a Kadten beer, which must have been very popular with the culinary delights lover.

On the way from the former Friedrichsruh railway crossing up to the Sachsenwald climbing park, you walk around a striking hill, the so-called snail mountain. What's it all about? In a site plan from 1877 showing the Friedrichsruh train station and its surroundings, "Der Spiral Mountain" is drawn south of the level crossing as a circular facility with a narrow access path to the top. The snail mountain was probably created around 1846 with the construction of the Hamburg - Berlin railway line. No evidence of a hill in this area can be found on maps prior to this time. But during the construction of the railway, masses of earth accumulated, with which the snail mountain could have been built as a vantage point. According to the information board at the snail mountain, it could also be a prehistoric burial mound that was converted into a viewing hill.
