Along the way, there are cute wooden figures carved from old tree trunks.

This is not the entrance, of course, but the back of the large property, which the owners and hotel operators unfortunately keep inaccessible to hikers and day visitors. This beautiful gate is sadly locked.

The hotel dislikes hikers and day visitors and keeps the entrances to the private grounds locked. There are discouraging signs at the main entrance. One could probably venture right up to the hunting lodge, but even from the rear, one can get a glimpse of it. The wrought-iron gate is also impressive.

The wooden bridge, built in 2001, spans the Werbellin Canal between Eichhorst and Lake Werbellin. On the right side, toward the lake, there are a few beautiful trails.

Great view over Lake Werbellin. Take a leisurely drive past the Askanier Tower to the top. Worth seeing!
