The Teterow Pike Fountain is an ornamental fountain erected in 1914 on the market square in Teterow and a popular landmark of the town. Designed by the sculptor Wilhelm Wandschneider, it commemorates the legend of the "great-great-grandfather." The pike legend tells of a particularly large pike that the people of Teterow caught in the lake. It was as big as a grown man's leg. To keep the pike fresh, a bell was tied around its neck and it was thrown back into the water. The bell was supposed to indicate the pike's location. However, this didn't work, and the pike was eventually carved in stone and placed on the market square. The traditional Pike Festival takes place annually in Teterow on the weekend before Pentecost. The highlight is the performance of the Schildbürgerstreiche (Schildbürgerstreiche) by Teterow amateur artists.

The concentration of different species of trees affected by mistletoe is striking. Mistletoe is one of the epiphytic parasites and is a semi-parasite. They use the trees as a host for water and nutrients. The epiphytic plants destroy the cell walls of the trees and drive a wedge into the host tissue. Nature has come up with a special trick to spread mistletoe: its white fruits are extremely sticky. “Many birds like to nibble on the berries. Some of the fruits stick to their beaks. If the birds sharpen their beaks on a branch or leave their droppings there, the mistletoe seeds stick to the bark of the future host tree.
