"The tree treasure of Schuenhagen" (nature trail)

"The tree treasure of Schuenhagen" - this is the name of the nature trail at the Schuenhagen forestry office, which invites you to discover the forest. Young and old can learn about the tree species of the natural forest in a playful way at various stations. The smallest German eagle, the lesser spotted eagle, still feels at home in the dense forests of the "Nordvorpommersche Waldlandschaft". Here it can raise its young in peace and catch mice and frogs in the surrounding meadows. The Schuenhagen forestry office has been supporting the chance.natur federal funding project "Nordvorpommersche Waldlandschaft" (Northern Pomeranian Forest Landscape) from the very beginning, which has set itself the task of preserving this special animal species and protecting its habitat. This not only helps the rare lesser spotted eagle, but also the diverse natural areas far from the coast of Western Pomerania. In addition to the lesser spotted eagle trail, which provides interesting facts about the lesser spotted eagle's way of life and migratory behavior, a new nature trail behind the forestry office has been available to discover since 2022. In the so-called "Müß" - a natural forest that is left to develop naturally - a path with 7 different stations leads through the world of tree species. The tree spirits of oak and co. are already waiting for your visit! With their many riddles, you may succeed in opening the safe containing the "Tree Treasure of Schuenhagen" at the end. The lesser spotted eagle trail and the nature trail are free of charge, accessible all year round and designed to be exciting for children and adults alike. For the nature trail, simply follow the light blue signpost arrows at the forestry office. You are also welcome to take part in guided tours.

"Kunsthof" Bad Doberan

● Bad Doberan

Kunsthof Bad Doberan e. V. has been exhibiting art and handicrafts for almost 15 years now. Since November 2009, artists, craftspeople and hobby artists have been gathered here under one roof. Here you will find a particularly large selection and variety of paintings, graphics and handicrafts. The concept of renting exhibition space to artists and craftspeople as well as hobby artists and making it available for presentation and sale has been implemented by a registered association since the beginning of 2021. The costs are shared and the store management is also a joint effort. Incidentally, the association members are themselves creative minds and exhibitors from the Kunsthof team. This means that the "Kunsthof" is both a gallery with free admission and a store. The Kunsthof team can also build on very good cooperation and solidarity with various partners from Bad Doberan and the region, as exhibitors are always allowed to present and sell their work at the partners' stores. Around 40 exhibitors are currently showing their works and handicraft products in the "Kunsthof". Whether painting, graphics, photo and paper art, art prints, ceramics and woodwork or jewelry, object art, textile design and sewn items as well as upcycling - there is something here for every art lover. The Kunsthofverein has written it into its statutes to promote and support artists and artisans and to network them with each other. The association members want to achieve this goal with an art trail specially developed for Bad Doberan from 01.05.2024. In future, not only holidaymakers and spa or day guests but also locals will be able to find and discover art sites, galleries and workshops on this trail. More information can be found on the Kunsthof website. Opening hours: Jan.-Apr.: Thu+Fri 10am-4pm, Sat 10am-4pm, May-Dec.: Tue-Fri 10am-4pm, Sat 10am-4pm
