Depending on the season, they are filled with sea buckthorn, raspberries, gooseberries, strawberries, blueberries or cherries. When it comes to our products, quality clearly comes before quantity.

Stone box

Stone box

Burial site from the Neolithic period around 3000 BC. With the introduction of agriculture and animal husbandry, a sedentary way of life began in the Neolithic period. The treatment of the dead also changed. From then on, burials took place either in simple earth graves or in specially constructed earth mounds with stone chambers. Remains of such a stone chamber were discovered in 1902 by woodcutters in the Hohes Holz hiking area near Teterow. The stone chamber was surrounded by a mound 18 m long and 7 m wide. The chamber's capstone was already missing. Shards of clay vessels were found during the investigation. In 2004, the site was scientifically re-examined and restored. The exact position of the stones could be determined on the basis of the traces left behind. The entrance to the chamber, which was only 80 x 100 cm wide, was via a flat stone at the western end that is missing today. This allowed the bones of the deceased to be laid there.

Ruschvitz Pebble Beach

Ruschvitz Pebble Beach

Ruschvitz

The rocky beach at Ruschvitz invites you to take a hike over scree along low, steep banks, where there are many interesting finds to discover, such as seashells, fossilized sea urchins, or boulders. The impressive boulders from the Ice Age are a popular subject for painters and photographers. As early as 1806, Caspar David Friedrich found himself surrounded by thousands of stones on the beach at Ruschvitz during a trip to Rügen. Very close by, in the northwest of the Jasmund Peninsula, on the rocky beach at Ruschvitz, lies one of Rügen’s largest boulders: “Svantekas.” The name comes from Old Slavic and roughly translates to “holy stone.” Measuring about 18 cubic meters, it bears witness to the remarkable power of the Ice Age.

Stargazing Spot - Kurwald, Krakow am See

Stargazing Spot - Kurwald, Krakow am See

Krakow am See is one of the municipalities in the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide Nature and Star Park—the first certified star park in northern Germany. Its international recognition as an “International Dark Sky Park” was officially confirmed in late 2025/early 2026. The Star Park encompasses 16 municipalities in the Mecklenburg Lake District and is characterized by very low light pollution, vast forest and lake landscapes, and a population density of only about 9 inhabitants per km². As a result, exceptionally clear starry skies are visible there—including the Milky Way, which can be seen with the naked eye under good conditions. In and around Krakow am See, there are several official stargazing spots equipped with lounge chairs, information boards, and themed stations. The certification was granted following years of measures to combat light pollution. These included, among other things, the conversion of approximately 600 streetlights to shielded, night-friendly lighting systems. The Krakow am See Health Forest is located northeast of the town of Krakow am See, on the Jörnberg, Emkwerder, and Lehmwerder peninsulas. It covers an area of about 18 hectares and is bordered by Lake Krakow, the buildings along Möwenweg, and the edge of the stadium’s embankment. The location of the Kurwald is marked by a black line with dashed strokes on one side, with the dashes pointing into the area. The boundary of the Kurwald is archived and may be viewed by anyone free of charge.

At the stargazing site on Krakower Obersee, visitors can enjoy a magnificent view of the nature reserve during the day. Under the covered area with seating, you can let your gaze wander across the lake, relax, or use binoculars to watch waterfowl. This site is dedicated to Dr. Neubauer, the long-time nature reserve manager. From Krakow am See via the Mölln district or via the B103/L37 coming from Plau am See toward Bossow, take the Oberseeweg exit toward Krakow am See, then follow Oberseeweg for about 2 km to the Dr. Neubauer Blick observation platform.

Goldberg

Sky full of stars - Discover the night: The star park as a nature experience. You might think the world has come to an end here. With so little light on the last few meters to Hellberg, you can guess the path more than you can see it. And that's good, because it prepares your eyes for what's to come: the Milky Way in the starry sky. What otherwise remains hidden from us because of all the lights can be experienced at the stargazing spots in the Nossentiner/ Schwinzer Heide Nature Park. Ten such places have been set up - equipped with information boards, 3D representations of a constellation and wooden loungers. If you like, you can be guided through the night sky by a podcast. Simply scan the code on the lounger and listen. Wrapped up in a warm blanket, you can enjoy the panorama of the almost black firmament. And with a bit of luck, you might catch a shooting star or two.

Over time, the site underwent many transformations, from the creation of a fine sandy beach to the installation of sheet pile walls.

At 72 meters, the Schaalsee is the deepest lake in northern Germany. Many small banks around the lake invite you into the crystal-clear water. The well-equipped bathing area in Zarrentin has a slide, play facilities, snack bar and a nostalgic bathing hut. Due to its quiet location in the middle of the biosphere reserve and the rural region that surrounds Zarrentin, the lido is popular with bathers who want to escape the hustle and bustle of large outdoor pools, even in midsummer weather. A nostalgic bathing hut underlines the rural charm of this idyllic spot on the southern shore of Lake Schaalsee. In addition to plenty of space on the sunbathing lawn, the well-kept facility offers a somewhat secluded yet easily manageable playground. The beach is supervised in the afternoon when the weather is good. The outdoor pool is free of charge and open all year round from Mon-Sun. Due to its four decades of seclusion as a restricted area of the inner-German border, a number of endangered animal and plant species have been able to preserve their natural habitat at the Schaalsee. For this reason, bathing is only permitted at designated bathing areas.
