Forsthof Jasnitz
● Jasnitz
In the middle of one of the largest closed forest areas in the south of West Mecklenburg, on the edge of the "Griesen Gegend", lies the Jasnitz forestry office with its historic Forsthof. This is a popular excursion destination for holidaymakers and those seeking relaxation and offers space for exhibitions and seasonal markets several times a year.
The listed Forsthof with its old forester's lodge is now the administrative headquarters of the Jasnitz forestry office and a special attraction for nature lovers, hikers, excursionists and school classes. In 1793, the former Jasnitz farm with its hunting lodge was converted into the Forsthof. The forestry office building that still exists today was built around 1857. A functioning artesian well, a restored half-timbered barn and other outbuildings are part of the lovingly restored ensemble.
The Forsthof is the starting point for two nature trails that lead through the surrounding forest. Numerous information boards along the paths provide interesting facts about the natural wealth of our forests and inform visitors about their use as a source of raw materials. Well-known animal and landscape painters and other artists regularly exhibit their works in the Forsthof's "Little Gallery".
