The detour to the wandering dune is a real highlight of a tour through the Lübtheen Heath. It's an ideal spot for a photo of the dune and heath landscape.

The old fieldstone church was built around 1256 and served as a place of worship for the surrounding villages of the Alt Jabel community until a new one was built in 1908. The attic and a wooden bell tower were demolished, and the church remains were left to their own devices. The church ruins have now been restored and secured.

There is an information board in the palace gardens detailing the palace's eventful history. All that remains of the last new palace building in 1888 is an archway and the remains of a concrete foundation, after the buildings were demolished in 1979/80 as part of the GDR's border security measures.
