Another former mill - the Görsdorfer Mühle has now been converted into a residential building. Unfortunately, you can't marvel at the great garden and pond.

Small nameless lake in the middle of the Heidehof-Golmberg nature reserve, which was then used by the Soviets on the military training area. A nice watering place for the animals of the forest and fishing prohibited as it appears to be privately owned.
