Drive to the so-called teahouse and you will experience a lonely moonscape. Look for the monument to the gendarme Herman Spangenberg, murdered in 1918. Unfortunately, there are no map contents or signposts to it.

In sight, to the west, you can see the only building, the "Samendarre". The only forestry facility in Mecklenburg for the storage and processing of pine seeds.
