If you're lucky, the soft serve ice cream truck will be there. The plain vanilla soft serve is the best.

Boek Manor House is located in what is now the Boek district of the municipality of Rechlin. The two-story manor house, with its 13 window axes and striking central projection, was built in the first half of the 19th century, presumably between 1800 and 1850, as the prestigious seat of a Mecklenburg estate. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the property was owned by several noble and landowning families, most recently the le Fort family, who managed the estate until it was expropriated by the Nazi regime. In 1935, the manor house and the surrounding grounds were taken over by the German Air Force, as the important Rechlin Air Base – a central air force testing center during the Third Reich – was located in the immediate vicinity. After the end of World War II, the building was used for various purposes during the GDR era, including agricultural administration and as housing and storage facilities. After German reunification, a comprehensive renovation of the manor house began in the 1990s, preserving and restoring large parts of its historic structure. Today, Boek Manor serves as a National Park Information Center, informing visitors about the nature and history of the Müritz National Park. In addition to the National Park exhibition, the building houses a village museum, a tin figure museum, and a tin figure workshop showcasing traditional handicrafts. The Boek fishponds nearby also offer opportunities to observe ospreys and sea eagles. Currently (as of May 2025), the manor house is still closed for renovation work.

Really good cycle path, only the first little section from the Neustrelitz town sign is not so good, especially because of two cobblestone driveways where you have to be a bit careful with racing bike tires.
