Elf school and studio Ines Bargholz
The Elf School is a place of inspiration.
Here, people find space and opportunity to discover their creative power and follow their intuition. Together, we are in the process of making the Little People of Lake Schaalsee visible again, reminding us of the forces of nature and expanding our perception. Ines Bargholz, founder of the Elf School in Neuenkirchen, is certain that there are elves, fairies, goblins, trolls and nature spirits in the Schaalsee UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Her elf school is a place of inspiration where visitors can be enchanted and where they can find space to develop their creative power and follow their intuition. Ines Bargholz offers so-called elf weekends. In addition to a guided elf hike, these also include a modeling course where participants can make their own elf. If you don't want to book a whole weekend, you can discover the wondrous creatures on an elf afternoon, which also includes a hike. The elf school is located on a strong energy site, right opposite the oldest church in West Mecklenburg, in the middle of a specially protected cultural landscape, between Hamburg and Schwerin. Here, people have the opportunity to discover a wonderful world in a magical natural landscape along winding riverside paths.

Elf weekends and elf afternoons around Lake Schaalsee
Visitors can choose between various offers: An elf weekend combines a guided elf hike and a modeling course where participants sculpt their own elf. Those with less time can also experience a hike through the magical landscape around Lake Schaalsee on an Elf Afternoon. Both formats invite you to rediscover your own creativity and intuition.
An energy place next to the oldest church in West Mecklenburg
The Elf School is located on a so-called energy square, directly opposite the oldest church in West Mecklenburg. The specially protected cultural landscape, winding riverside paths and the tranquil nature of the biosphere reserve make Neuenkirchen a unique destination away from the well-known destinations on the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern such as Rostock, Wismar or Fischland-Darß-Zingst.

Neuenkirchen is conveniently located between Hamburg and Schwerin. The town can be reached by car via the A24, which connects the two cities. The nearest major train station is in Schwerin, from where you can continue your journey by bus or car.
