립 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

모기들이 정말 지독하고 약간 이끼가 끼었지만, 엄청나게 목가적인 장소였습니다. 물론, 길은 가깝지만, 이제는 오히려 작은 길입니다.

Impressive memorial site for the razed village

An interesting insight into German history.

This is definitely worth a visit!❤️🥰🌾🌊

A truly beautiful spot. Provides shade in the summer and is a great place to take a break.

Bathing area more or less directly on the road. Not a comfortable place to lie down and currently populated by trillions of mosquitoes, it's not enough to jump into the lake for a quick moment...

Cozy spot by the lake, but with mosquitoes

Founded as a Slavic settlement, the village of Lankow lay on a peninsula on Lake Lankow west of Dechow. Recent excavations document a ten-thousand-year-old settlement history. In 1942, Lankow had 59 inhabitants. Due to refugees, the population had grown to over 100 by 1946, and by 1973, it had fallen to just 28. Following the "Barber-Ljaschtschenko Agreement" in November 1945, the demarcation line between the British and Soviet occupation zones moved to Lake Lankow. This placed the village on the inner-German border, in the Russian occupation zone. The establishment of the SED dictatorship was also felt in Lankow. On Soviet orders, the GDR government established a five-kilometer-wide restricted area along the inner-German border in 1952. The village of Lankow was located in the restricted area and belonged to the 500-meter-wide protective strip directly on the dividing line between East and West. Here, the residents were subject to particularly restrictive regulations; some fled to the West. The exposed location on the lake directly on the western state border tempted quite a few people to illegally cross the border. To protect itself against this, the state forcibly relocated all long-established farming and artisan families to the interior of the GDR in 1952 and 1961, without regard for family ties. New residents moved into the now vacant farms and apartments, or they were demolished and leveled. The few remaining residents of Lankow were gradually resettled as well. In 1976, Lankow was "freed." That same year, further border security and border adjustment began. All Lankow houses and agricultural buildings were demolished, and their remains were pushed down the slope to the lake. To ensure a clear line of sight and a clear field of fire, the vegetation was removed. To deter refugees, border signal and expanded metal barrier fences stretched across Lake Lankow from 1976 to 1990. So Lankow was razed. Simply unbelievable! Today, only a few remnants of the settlement and rural garden culture, as well as a memorial stone, an information board, and boulders with photos marking the location of the former farmsteads, remind us of the village on Lake Lankow, which was undesirable by the GDR government. A detour to Lankow and search for traces on the memorial and educational trail is truly worthwhile! https://dorf-dechow.de/ortsteile/lankow/
