Highlight • Lake
The lake was first mentioned in a document in 1299 (stagnum Westwitz). In addition to 38 other named lakes, it was part of the original equipment of the Himmelpfort monastery.

Retzow Church Ruins
Highlight • Religious Site
The Retzow church was built as a rectangular stone building without a tower in the 2nd half of the 13th century. The church has a bevelled pedestal. A portal led from the west, two from the south to the church. The sacristy on the eastern part of the north side was connected to the church by a small door. The door vestments are all but torn down to small parts, the window walls, however, are largely preserved, especially the pointed arched east window. The hole for the locking bar of the west door is still clearly visible.
The belfry used to stand near the current parking lot. He was transferred to the cemetery in 1966 and renewed.

Cycle path between Pian and Großer Lychensee
Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway
Unfortunately, the cycle path is not that wide, which requires full attention when there is oncoming traffic, especially on the tight curves before Lychen. It was worked through once in autumn 2020 and has since had root foil and some areas have been repaired with new asphalt. Unfortunately, old patches with stones were not removed, which now represent an unevenness. There is also still damage to the cycle path, be it on the edge or in the middle. I have no idea what they're coming through. Unfortunately, at Lychen the cycle path breaks off a bit at the edges; there is a lot of paving here. Maybe it would have been better to completely re-asphalt the cycle path rather than just patching it up again and again. But of course that also costs...
