And directly behind the rest area and the observation tower, a small path leads up to the café with a lake view (huge cake slices)

Anything but a secret tip!

It was so crowded (motorcycle groups, large families) and the noise level unbelievable. We then fled, everywhere else it was quiet. I wholeheartedly wish them the business, but it wasn't cozy, more like an atmosphere at a regional league football match. So maybe just take a look, on sunny Sundays there is no trace of quiet.

This demands full concentration! Scenically it's wonderful (the mosquitoes think so too!) and overall I enjoyed this section a lot and it was a lot of effort (logs in the way) by the way I don't have a (!) mountain bike

One of several observation towers on the lakes of the Schaalsee Biosphere Reserve. From here you have a wonderful view of the lake and the surrounding area.

The Schaalsee is nestled within the biosphere reserve of the same name and, at over 70 meters deep, is considered Northern Germany's deepest clearwater lake. Those who wish to swim here should only do so at designated areas—for example, in Dargow, Lassahn, Seedorf, or at the Zarrentin lido. The water quality is excellent, perfect for a refreshing dip on the go. The protected natural environment surrounding the lake is rich in species and tranquil—ideal for those who appreciate peace, clean air, and clear water. The beer and coffee garden is a pleasant place to relax.
