Die Wendeleiche ist ein Aussichtspunkt zwischen Zorge und Sülzhayn. Ihren Namen verdankt die Eiche einer Wendeltreppe, welche man Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts erbaut hatte um die in der Krone der Eiche errichtete Aussichtsplattform zu erreichen. Da die Eiche nur wenige Meter von der ehemaligen innerdeutschen Grenze entfernt stand, bauten die DDR Grenztruppen die Wendeltreppe und die Aussichtplattform zurück. Heute erinnern nur noch zwei rostige Eisenkonstruktionen an die Wendeltreppe.
