Viewpoint Reiherberg

Viewpoint Reiherberg
At 143 m, the Reiherberg is one of the highest elevations in the Feldberg lake district and offers a truly fantastic view over the Haussee lake with its two picturesque islands to the silhouette of Feldberg. The Reiherberg can be reached on foot via the Reinhard-Barby-Höhenweg. It lies to the north of the main town of Feldberg and offers a phenomenal view of the main town in the lake district. Because it is also 60 m above the level of the Haussee lake, the mountain is one of the highlights of the hiking route in both senses of the word. However, it should be noted that the Reiherberg is by no means a mountain in the classic sense, but rather - like all the landscapes around Feldberg - part of the glacial series. The elevation is described more precisely by the term "glacial edge", which was formed when the dead ice melted. The Reiherberg is particularly beautiful in the early morning when the fog clears over the adjacent Haussee lake or on New Year's Eve. From here, you can watch the pyrotechnic hustle and bustle of the inhabitants of Feldberg. But the mountain also shows its graceful side at all other times. Due to its beauty, the Reiherberg not only attracts hikers, it can also be visited by cyclists. In addition, carriage rides through the surrounding beech forest are regularly offered, with the mountain as a must-see attraction.

Reiherberg viewpoint - panoramic view over the Feldberg lake district

The Reiherberg viewpoint in the Feldberg lake district is one of the most beautiful vantage points in inland Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. At 143 meters high and around 60 meters above the level of the Haussee lake, it offers an impressive panorama of the main town of Feldberg, the two picturesque islands in the Haussee lake and the wooded lake landscape all around. While coastal regions such as Rügen, Usedom and Fischland-Darß-Zingst are primarily known for their sea and beaches, the hinterland of the federal state surprises with such scenic highlights.

Ice-age escarpment with far-reaching views

Strictly speaking, the Reiherberg is not a classic mountain, but a glacial escarpment - formed when the dead ice of the last ice age melted. This glacial formation is typical of the entire landscape around Feldberg and makes the region particularly interesting geologically. The viewpoint is particularly atmospheric in the early morning, when the morning mist clears over the Haussee lake, or on New Year's Eve, when the Feldberg fireworks can be seen from up here.

Hiking, cycling and carriage rides on the Reiherberg

The Reiherberg is easily accessible on foot via the Reinhard-Barby-Höhenweg and is located north of the center of Feldberg. In addition to hikers, cyclists also regularly visit the viewpoint. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can take a carriage ride through the surrounding beech forest - the Reiherberg is an integral part of the route.
