Log cabin in Eichhof-Vorpommern

Log cabin in Eichhof-Vorpommern
One of the last log houses stands in Eichhof near Wilhelmsburg on the large Friedländer Wiese. Between 1997 and 2000, the listed building was restored to its original condition. Today it can be visited and freshly baked cakes are served in the log cabin café. For 250 years, people who farmed lived in the Eichhof log cabin. Until the 20th century, log construction was widespread in densely wooded Central Europe. The primeval forests that still existed in the region at the beginning of the 18th century made it possible to erect log buildings in Eichhof. The Förderkreis Blockhaus in Eichhof e.V. has set itself the goal of creating an exhibition and event venue in the log cabin. There has been a museum café here since summer 2011. The log cabin is located directly on the main road and on the Haff-Tollensesee cycle path, which connects Neubrandenburg with Ueckermünde over a distance of 80 km.
