Bakelberg

Bakelberg
Viewpoint The Bakelberg is surrounded by meadows and fields between the steep bank and the district of Niehagen. At a height of 17.9 m, it is the highest point on Fischland and offers a fantastic panoramic view of the Baltic Sea and Bodden. From 2017 to the end of 2020, the Ahrenshoop waymarker "Schreitender Paul Müller-Kaempff" by artist Moritz Götze was enthroned on the Bakelberg to mark the 125th anniversary of the Ahrenshoop artists' colony. A smaller version of the figure now commemorates the founder of the Ahrenshoop artists' colony on the meadow in front of the old school.

Bakelberg in the Baltic seaside resort of Ahrenshoop - the highest point of Fischland

At 17.9 meters, the Bakelberg in the Baltic seaside resort of Ahrenshoop is the highest point in Fischland and therefore a special place to visit on the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Nestled between meadows and fields, it lies between the steep bank and the district of Niehagen - and offers an impressive panoramic view of both the Baltic Sea and the Bodden from its summit.

Art history on the Bakelberg - the Ahrenshoop artists' colony

From 2017 to the end of 2020, the Bakelberg was also a cultural eye-catcher: to mark the 125th anniversary of the renowned Ahrenshoop artists' colony, the "Walking Paul Müller-Kaempff" marker by artist Moritz Götze was enthroned on the hill. The figure commemorates Paul Müller-Kaempff, the founder of the artists' colony. A smaller version of the sculpture can be seen today on the meadow in front of the old school in Ahrenshoop.
