We pass the next lock, turn around, and now look at the bridge where we stood almost a year ago and the idea for this trip developed. The reason was a sad one. At the next bridge, we have to duck our heads. We reach the castle island, dock, there are regional delicacies here. The ice cream melts faster than we can eat it, we get a bucket of pickled cucumbers from Gurken Paule. We continue the trip, lean back and enjoy the pickled cucumbers. https://youtu.be/mcYpOlU0F3s

The cafe and restaurant is close to the pier in a slightly elevated position and offers a great view of the hustle and bustle, if it is high season.

Lübben has had a secondary school for approximately 180 years, which since 1907 has borne the name of the town's most famous son: Paul Gerhardt. The school's current location is on Berliner Chaussee. It celebrated its 100th anniversary at this site in 2014. An extension was inaugurated in 2001, providing 11 classrooms, a small library, four preparation rooms, and a cafeteria.
