The Hellsee is a very popular hiking area with numerous swimming opportunities during the right season. The first highlight is the manor house, built from 1668, which was redesigned in the style of the French Renaissance in the 19th century. The park adjacent to the southwest towards Hellsee was already designed before the castle's renovation according to plans by Peter Joseph Lenné in the style of an English landscape park. Since 2006, the castle has been privately owned and can be rented for events. At the northern tip of the lake, we cross the swampy area with the Krummelankegraben and further the Hellmühler-Fließ, which drains the lake. At the Hellmühle manor house, access to the mill is not permitted as it is privately owned. The mill was already mentioned in documents as early as 1347 when Martin Count Ludwig transferred the mill, then owned by Arnold von Bredow, together with the mill race to the Provostry of Bernau. The mill operation was finally discontinued only in the 1920s. At the southern tip of the lake, the path continues along the romantically wild swampy area through which the Upstallfließ finds its way.
