June 2, 2026, Borwin Oak (Borwin-Eiche) in Rostocker Heide

Beautiful resting place - until a few decades ago, a tree over 500 years old stood here, named in honor of Prince Wilhelm Borwin III, who sold the forest area of Rostocker Heide to the people of Rostock in the 13th century (still considered one of the best deals in the city's history). You can still see the remains of the toppled giant tree. The current specimen of the Borwin Oak was planted in 1992.

On the information board in front of the deep pond, you can learn all sorts of unfathomable stories about the origin of the deep hole. The pit is surrounded by the huge rampart bastion, the so-called Dreiwall bastion, which – as the name suggests – served to protect the Hanseatic city in three ramparts. Overall an impressive structure! About the legend: http://www.lexikus.de/bibliothek/Die-Dreiwalls-oder-Teufelshoehle-bei-Rostock

The inner space enclosed by the uppermost rampart of the same is almost entirely occupied by a very deep and steep, D-shaped moat, which is commonly referred to by the name "Düwelskuhl" — Devil's Pit — also Dreiwallsgrube. (Source: http://lexikus.de)

After the fire last year, the willow dome has been restored. Good job. You can no longer see the fire.

At first I didn't quite understand from the comments what is so special about this highlight, but as soon as you stand there you have to laugh heartily: The old oak tree, planted a long time ago in honor of Prince Borwin, certainly a very imposing tree, no longer lives. However, a young tree was replanted as a memorial. However, it still has to grow "somewhat"! But a little further away on the path you can see very well how impressive such a tree can be!
