It used to be part of the fortress, so I recommend visiting the Thick Tower. Everything is well described there.

Anyone looking for a break with a panoramic view will find it at Neuendorf Pond. The view sweeps over an almost oversized expanse of water, where the light, weather, and mood are constantly changing. Sometimes the sky rises dramatically, sometimes the sun glitters with quiet regularity on the water – and somewhere on the horizon, the towers of Jänschwalde smoke. A place that combines nature and industry in one image without hiding itself. The riverside path is easy to cycle, the paths between meadow and forest alternate between asphalt, firm sand, and the occasional gravel. If you like, you can stop at one of the small embankments – there is no designated rest area, but enough space for a roll and a few minutes of rest. The pond is part of the old fishpond industry around Peitz, embedded in a complex network of canals and dams. Not a postcard idyll in the classic sense – but a place with character. Ideal for those looking for something not just "beautiful" but also "interesting." And for a quiet observation break while the swans glide over the water and the clouds of smoke rise towards the sky in the distance.

Anyone cycling along the cycle path should dismount here for a moment. The Mauster gravel pit is quietly situated, almost hidden among the trees – and surprises with its clear water and a small island in the middle. Access to the shore isn't always easy, but there are some spots where you can easily reach the water. Ideal for a quiet break, a photo, or a brief pause. In sunshine, the trees reflect off the surface, and in the evenings, dramatic lighting is often created here. Not an official bathing lake, but a place that exudes natural beauty – even if it is man-made.
