You can rent tree tents there 🤩 The tents are for three people, but I would rather recommend them for two. A very nice overnight option with a magnificent view over the lake.

No more cake: Landcafé Mözen has closed This is what it's about: Drinking coffee with homemade cake - that's what the café in Mözen was known for. This is what happened: But after the winter break, the oven will remain cold. Homemade cakes and sheet cakes will no longer be available, at least not for sale in the café. It was nice: As the operator announced on their own homepage, the café will apparently remain closed permanently. (KN 12.02.2025) https://www.landcafe-moezen.de/

A water dispenser has recently been installed next to the fountain. Ideal for replenishing your drinking water supplies while on the go.

The Rantzau stone comes from a destroyed megalithic grave that was about 75m long and 8m wide and lay parallel to the road. Heinrich Rantzau placed this stone "aelatis 50" - i.e. in his 50th year - at the height of his power.

Only for experienced riders downhill. Lots of scree and washed out areas. Very strenuous uphill section

From there you have a fantastic view of the Trave lowlands. And this beautiful landscape almost makes you forget the proximity to the A21.
