Anyone traveling along the Havel Cycle Path will experience an incredibly beautiful stretch from here to Wesenberg. A narrow, paved path winds through the rolling landscape, passing through open spaces, forests, and lakes, always in solitude. A ride to dream about!

Very disappointing - never again! At first glance, the price of €75 per night seems reasonable. However, at second glance, the price is very excessive. The room is a tiny converted pigsty. There's no wallpaper; bare white clinker bricks adorn the walls. The furnishings are two separate antique beds, a wardrobe, and a table that appear to have come from the bulky waste. The photos on the website are not realistic and are very euphemistic. A cold, hard-boiled egg is served for breakfast. A youth hostel offers greater comfort. Thank you, never again!
