Basedow Castle is a real eye-catcher and beautiful to look at. Together with Lenné Park and the small village with the village church, it forms a wonderful ensemble. Unfortunately, the castle itself can only be partially visited as part of a guided tour. But it is also worth seeing from the outside. There is a small path leading directly around the castle. The park is free and freely accessible and it is also worth taking a long walk here. The reflection of the castle in the adjacent village pond is also beautiful!👌 - why they have created several highlights for the same thing here is a mystery to me, as it is completely unnecessary! -

Good spot to observe the water world of the lake. The path from the bike path to the tower can be very muddy

The Kalensche Tor in Malchin looks very impressive in its Gothic style. Filigree structures, it's really amazing how it was built like that! It is one of the 4 gates of an old fortification. Further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalensches_Tor

This observation tower is located along the cycle path between Schorssow and Dahmen. If you are looking for a detour from the path, you will find an interesting highlight here.
