The large meadow with a playground and a few benches is certainly the most pleasant place to spend time at the Oberpfuhl and in the Lychen town area. Boats can dock, and you could even go on a boat tour yourself, but unfortunately, there's no suitable swimming spot. No water treading either. - Still. It's absolutely idyllic here, not least because of the beautiful tall trees and the peninsula-like shape of the area.

Large, well-kept lawn with seating and a portable toilet; next to the jetty is a perfect channel for pulling a canoe ashore or paddling.

From here you have a wonderful view of Lychen and the water on both sides - i.e. Oberpfuhl and the city lake.
