"Kunsthof" Bad Doberan

📍 Bad Doberan

Kunsthof Bad Doberan e. V. has been exhibiting art and handicrafts for almost 15 years now. Since November 2009, artists, craftspeople and hobby artists have been gathered here under one roof. Here you will find a particularly large selection and variety of paintings, graphics and handicrafts. The concept of renting exhibition space to artists and craftspeople as well as hobby artists and making it available for presentation and sale has been implemented by a registered association since the beginning of 2021. The costs are shared and the store management is also a joint effort. Incidentally, the association members are themselves creative minds and exhibitors from the Kunsthof team. This means that the "Kunsthof" is both a gallery with free admission and a store. The Kunsthof team can also build on very good cooperation and solidarity with various partners from Bad Doberan and the region, as exhibitors are always allowed to present and sell their work at the partners' stores. Around 40 exhibitors are currently showing their works and handicraft products in the "Kunsthof". Whether painting, graphics, photo and paper art, art prints, ceramics and woodwork or jewelry, object art, textile design and sewn items as well as upcycling - there is something here for every art lover. The Kunsthofverein has written it into its statutes to promote and support artists and artisans and to network them with each other. The association members want to achieve this goal with an art trail specially developed for Bad Doberan from 01.05.2024. In future, not only holidaymakers and spa or day guests but also locals will be able to find and discover art sites, galleries and workshops on this trail. More information can be found on the Kunsthof website. Opening hours: Jan.-Apr.: Thu+Fri 10am-4pm, Sat 10am-4pm, May-Dec.: Tue-Fri 10am-4pm, Sat 10am-4pm

"Retractable" mill in Kröpelin

📍 Kröpelin

The Kröpeliner Mühle is a gallery Dutch windmill. It has been a cultural center since its renovation in 2012 and is used by the "Kröpeliner Mühle" e.V. association for events. It can also be visited. Anyone driving through Kröpelin from Kühlungsborn will not believe their eyes... The mill, visible from afar from the eastern edge of the town, suddenly disappears, but later reappears. The miracle of Kröpelin is easy to explain: One succumbs to an optical illusion, because depending on the viewer's position, the mill, which has long since become the town's landmark, appears or disappears. The gallery Dutch windmill with a two-storey solid brick substructure was built in 1904 and went into operation in 1906. It operated as a grain mill until around 1952. In this Dutch mill - also known as a cap mill - the blades are attached to the cap. The mill body is fixed and only the cap is turned into the wind. Original parts of the wind turbine, such as the comb wheel and the king shaft, are still in the cap, but the equipment has been removed over the years. In 1986, work began on converting the building into a restaurant. However, it was not completed. It was not until 24 years later that a decision was made to carry out a complex modernization and to partially demolish the farm wing. The mill is owned by the town and was reopened at the end of 2013 after extensive renovations. It is operated by the "Kröpeliner Mühle" e.V. association and is open to the public.

Kröpelin "retractable" mill

📍 Kröpelin

The landmark of the town of Kröpelin - the "retractable" mill Anyone driving through Kröpelin from Kühlungsborn or Rerik will not believe their eyes. The mill, visible from the eastern edge of the town, suddenly disappears and reappears a short time later. Construction work on the Galerie-Holländer-Mühle began in 1904 and it was put into operation in 1906. It has a 2-storey solid brick substructure. The first floor is square and made of stone, while the central mill body with eight sides is also built of solid stone and covered with shingles. The wings of this Dutch mill - also known as a cap mill - are attached to the cap so that it can be turned into the wind. The wind turbine of the mill and parts of the equipment are still preserved. The mill was even still in operation until 1952. After it was decommissioned, it was then used as a warehouse for agricultural businesses and for the school as a "polytechnic" center. In 1986, work began on converting the mill into a restaurant. However, this conversion work came to a standstill due to the changes brought about by the fall of communism. In 2006, the "Kröpeliner Mühle" e.V. association was founded with the aim of renovating the mill in order to preserve it as a Kröpelin landmark and to organize and hold cultural events around the mill. The mill is owned by the town. Extensive renovation work began in 2012. The renovation work was completed in 2013 and the mill was reopened on December 20.

Jürgens Studio-Gallery

📍 Wismar

You love painting. Then let us surprise you. Atelier-Galerie Jürgens is located in the south of Wismar, just a 10-minute walk from the market square. Atelier-Galerie Jürgens is located at Goethestraße 4, just a 10-minute walk from Wismar's market square. Manfred W. Jürgens, a representative of New Realism, presents a selection of his works in bright rooms and provides a glimpse of panel paintings currently in progress. In a world of chronic over-staging, Jürgens is in search of the concrete, of precision and clarity. When a pictorial idea flows through the soul via the experience in the eye and finds new formulation via the brush on the canvas, then that is pure painting! Fashions and trends are ignored. Realistic painting aims to depict things in life precisely as they are, without embellishment. But what is realism anyway? Experts argue about this question. After all, no matter how "lifelike" the artist may depict something, his painting always bears his own signature. All painting is an abstraction, and so is realism. Portraits of people and animals, still lifes and seascapes - deceptively beautiful and often disturbing. Opening hours: Jan.-Dec.: Mon-Sun 2-7 p.m.

Studio house of the Kulturmühle Wismar e.V.

📍 Wismar

Painting with anything that works: coffee, surface smoother, toilet paper, acrylic paints, synthetic resin binder, linseed oil, turpentine substitute, pigments. I am on the trail of the event. The impulse that makes me want to paint. Sometimes I pick something up, put it on the canvas - and it prompts me to do more. I could slow myself down to follow a previously conceived idea, but the idea is from yesterday, is no longer important, so I follow the new idea. Sometimes the idea and the new idea come very close and sometimes the idea dissolves into a new expanse. So every picture has its own story, its own path and its own context. Images convey experiences and connect emotions. That is why I would like to take you into the world of these pictures. Opening hours Jan-Dec: Fr+Sa 16-19 o'clock

Bathing beach Am Schwarzen Busch

📍 Am Schwarzen Busch

Bathing was "invented" on the island of Poel at Am Schwarzen Busch beach. The first spa guests discovered the beach, just 1.3 kilometers from Kirchdorf, in the 1920s. It was during this time that the now lovingly restored buildings of the Kurhaus were built directly on the beach. In the 1950s, a settlement of thatched vacation homes was built directly on the dune, which has been extended in recent years with new thatched houses. Many of these houses are now rented out to vacation guests and offer ideal conditions for a seaside vacation due to their unique location. The beach, which is secured by groynes and lifeguards in the high season and covered with fine sand, has grown in width in recent years and has become the most popular beach on the island. The unobstructed view of the ferries sailing past on the horizon towards Scandinavia awakens wanderlust, and not only in seafarers. Enjoy this unique atmosphere in any weather, well protected in one of the many beach chairs set up for you. Directly behind the beach is a new promenade with numerous restaurants, children's play equipment and a mini-golf course. Just a few steps away, an attractive indoor playground awaits its guests, and not just in rainy weather. The Ostseeklinik Insel Poel, a rehabilitation facility for mothers and children, is idyllically situated on the edge of a small oak forest, from which this district takes its name.

Gollwitz beach

📍 Gollwitz

The sandy beach at Gollwitz is not very crowded and offers ideal conditions for sunbathing, especially for families with children, thanks to the shallow water. The Gollwitz beach is an insider tip among nature lovers and parents with very young children. Due to its close proximity to the offshore bird sanctuary island of Langenwerder, there are unique opportunities to observe rare bird species, even from your beach chair. A small adventure playground in the form of a beached pirate ship and a volleyball net allow not only young guests to really let off steam here. The deep waters of the Baltic Sea begin about 100 meters from the sandbank. Due to the shallow water in front of the beach, there is no surveillance. There is a small kiosk and sanitary facilities on site.

Timmendorf beach

📍 Timmendorf

Timmendorf-Strand is a good mix of attractive bathing fun for the young and the young at heart. There is a wide range of water sports on site. On the west coast of Poel Island, right next to the harbor and in front of the lighthouse campsite, you will find Timmendorf beach with its distinct maritime flair. The old lighthouse, which is over 140 years old and still shows ships the way to Wismar, and the harbor at its foot make this beach so unique. At around 700 meters, young and young-at-heart bathers in particular will find everything their hearts desire here. Numerous water sports facilities, such as pedal boating, water skiing, kitesurfing and surfing, transform Timmendorf beach into one of the liveliest places on the island of Poel during the bathing season. The beach, which is patrolled by lifeguards in the high season, is managed by beach chair rental companies, who will be happy to reserve a chair for you for your entire stay. Many restaurants with large sun terraces invite you to enjoy a wonderful natural spectacle every day in good weather. In Timmendorf you will experience sunsets that you will dream about long after your vacation is over. Afterwards, you can take a stroll along the jetties of the piers to watch incoming ships mooring and perhaps spin a few yarns. The DLRG/Nivea beach festival and the day of the sea rescuers take place here every year.

Barrier-free beach access Zierow

📍 Zierow

Barrier-free beach access and the Wattmobil on Zierow beach ensure a relaxing day at the beach for all ages. In the high season, the serviced part of Zierow beach is wheelchair accessible. A wooden walkway provides access to the beach, the beach shower and two beach chairs, which are reserved for guests with disabilities. A non-slip surface replaces the wooden walkway up to the edge of the surf so that older people and guests with baby carriages or disabilities can reach the water without any problems. A barrier-free toilet is also available in the immediate vicinity at the beach entrance area. Beach chairs must be booked at least two days in advance using the online form. You can also book a beach chair by telephone (038428-63790) at the Tourist Information and Community Center or (depending on weather conditions and availability) directly on the beach in the mornings during the peak summer months. Wadden mobile Guests with disabilities can also borrow a mudflat mobile free of charge from the DLRG. Please note that it can only be borrowed if the DLRG watchtower or the beach basket reservation is occupied. The beach wheelchair is seawater-resistant and an accompanying person is required for use.

Organic farm Hoher Schönberg

📍 Hohen Schönberg

Organic farm "Hof Hoher Schönberg" with arable, oilseed and horticulture as well as livestock farming, managed in an organic or biodynamic, original, artisanal way and partly according to historical models (museum farm). A special branch of the business: an oil mill. We sell in our own organic farm store. The organic farm "Hof Hoher Schönberg" is situated in a secluded location in the Klützer Winkel in Northwest Mecklenburg, close to the Baltic Sea. The former leasehold farm from 1860 includes around 25 hectares of land in a rounded location. We manage the farm with arable, oilseed and horticulture as well as livestock farming in an organic or biodynamic, original, artisanal way and partly according to historical models (Mueseumsbauernhof). This means that our animals are kept in the traditional way and we produce all our own feed, such as hay, straw, beet and grain. As a special branch of our business, we operate an oil mill and use a specially developed process to press vegetable oils rich in nutrients in nutritionally high-quality organic raw food quality. Some of the pressed oilseeds, kernels and nuts come directly from the organic farm's own cultivation without transportation. We produce a total of 25 therapeutically highly effective, different oils fresh daily to weekly using our water-cooled raw food oil mills. We strive to close cycles in the farm economy. For example, we use the press cake from the oil mill as animal feed or directly as fertilizer to return these nutrients to the soil. We are currently 18 people who work on the "Hoher Schönberg Farm" in a wide variety of areas and continue to develop and expand it: in arable farming with oilseed cultivation, in vegetable cultivation, in animal husbandry, in the tree nursery with historic roses and with small fruit tree propagation as well as in the oil mill and in the organic farm store.

Organic farm Tacke with farm store

📍 Dorf Mecklenburg

Not far from the Baltic Sea, a stiff breeze always in our faces, we can let our gaze wander over our fields as far as Wismar... Here we live and work according to organic guidelines. In our farm store you will find organic products directly from the farm and from the region. We work ecologically, in harmony with nature. Outside is our home. In wind and weather. We were born with this in mind. We treat our environment in such a way that it remains usable and nourishing for future generations. As a team, we look after the land, the crops, the cattle, the geese, the vegetables and the bees. The circular economy is particularly important to us. Everything here should work together. The geese and cattle provide the nursery and the fields with valuable manure, they graze on the pastures and ensure biodiversity. Our honeybees help with pollination and secure yields, but at the same time they also make us aware of the need to create a diverse range of crops. This is helped not only by a diverse crop rotation, but also by the flowering meadow, which can be sponsored. In this way, we offer direct contact with nature. We also provide insights into organic farming through educational farm activities. With farm education, we offer young and old experiences on the farm at regular intervals. Information on dates can be found on our homepage. From here, from the farm, for you. And naturally, originally and as unaltered as possible. That is the standard we set for our products in the farm store. Come by and visit our farm store in Dorf Mecklenburg. We look forward to seeing you!
