Here is the complete poem „In the Garden“ by Theodor Fontane (from his poetry collection, first published in 1845/1851): In the Garden The high raspberry walls Separated you and me, But in the foliage our hands Found each other on their own. The hedge could not prevent it, No matter how high it stood: I handed you the berries, And you handed me your mouth. Ah, if you would walk through the garden Once more at a brisk pace, How gladly I would wait, Wait for hours.

The mill was first documented in 1530 and originally belonged to the Lindow convent (later the Lindow ladies' convent and office). It is one of the last remaining water and windmills in the region. In the Middle Ages, it served the monastery, which was one of the richest in the March of Brandenburg. Fires destroyed parts of the complex in 1805 and 1846; it was rebuilt afterwards. The current two-story main building dates from 1848 (or reconstruction after 1846) and is an example of Prussian rural architecture.

A very nice swimming spot with a few benches. The sun doesn't come around until the afternoon.

Beautiful bathing spot with a small sandy beach at Wutzsee (and of course not at Stechlinsee, as claimed in a neighboring highlight)

The swimming spots are inviting. But now in April, I can't resist.
