Dümmer Lake East Shore

Tourism is flourishing on the east bank with many docks for boats and nice restaurants to linger. Sometimes it's too restless for me here and that's about to get worse …

This remarkable half-timbered house, located in the center of town, consists of three parts and is believed to be approximately 200 years old.

A large part comes from a well-preserved shed/half-timbered barn from Stemshorn.
