A walk around Lake Nonnensee is always worthwhile, as is a detour to Bergen.

Free and open access; the gate is wide open; the turnstile and ticket machine are not in operation (as of July 2025). Even in bad weather and without optimal visibility, it's still an experience to be able to get an overview of this part of the island from this height. I'm still delighted that the original dilapidated wooden tower was replaced by this solid new structure. It was also possible to build it higher, so that a 360-degree view of all the treetops is once again possible. Free parking and a picnic table/benches at the base of the tower.

The view from the tower is spectacular. Today, with binoculars, I saw the Stralsund churches and shipyard, the Hiddensee lighthouse, and the chalk cliffs of the island of Møn. Interesting information panels explain the bird species and trees. The tower was open again today and free to climb. During the season, you probably have to insert €2 at the turnstile. There's a small free parking lot nearby.
