Blumenholz offers two distinct focal points for planning a trip: architectural and church history, and the landscape of the Hellberge Hills. Blumenholz Church was built in half-timbered style in the first half of the 18th century and has no tower. Inside, a pulpit altar and choir stalls from the Rococo period have been preserved. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can consider whether historic buildings, walks or both should be the focus when choosing your destination.

Churches, Half-Timbered Buildings and Traces on Schloßberg Hill

The church brings together several distinctive features: its half-timbered construction, towerless design and preserved Rococo furnishings. Weisdin is also part of the municipality of Blumenholz. The church there was built from 1747 to 1749 on an octagonal floor plan by the von Peckatel ruling family. Its small tower reflects the fashionable taste for chinoiserie at the time; inside, a brightly painted baptismal angel hangs from the ceiling.

Another half-timbered building is the Hilhaus, a summer hunting lodge built in 1938. The construction dates mark different periods: Blumenholz Church dates from the first half of the 18th century, Weisdin Church was built from 1747 to 1749, and the Hilhaus was built in 1938. The architectural attractions thus range from churches and their furnishings to a hunting lodge built later.

On Schloßberg Hill near Mittelsee Lake are the foundation-wall remains of an old castle. There is also a glacial erratic measuring 4.5 metres in diameter and 2 metres in height; it originally stood in Zechower Wald. The castle remains and the glacial erratic give Schloßberg Hill a historical and landscape focus distinct from the churches and their preserved interiors.

The Hellberge Hills: Ridge, Views and Dry Grassland

The Hellberge Hills are a popular destination for day trips and walks. The ridge is about 1.5 kilometres long, runs from north to south and lies south of Lieps Lake. Its highest point reaches 91.7 metres above sea level. The Hellberge offer sweeping panoramic views, combining practical guidance for walkers with specific details about the landscape's shape and elevation.

The Hellberge lie within a landscape protection area. Sheep graze on their dry slopes, where dry sheep-fescue grassland is found. The only known occurrence of Five-stamened Spurge in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is also located here. These details describe the natural landscape and the grazing on its slopes, distinguishing it from the architectural attractions in Blumenholz and the wider municipality.

Lakes and Activities Around Blumenholz

Blumenholz lies in the terminal moraine area of the Pomeranian stage of the Weichselian glaciation. The destination is surrounded by the Tollensesee basin and the chain of lakes comprising Müritzsee, Mittelsee, Langer See and Krebssee, and is nestled among meadows, fields and forests. The area around Blumenholz invites visitors to go walking and cycling. Together with the Hellberge, this offers a clear choice between a specific walking and day-trip destination and the general opportunity to explore the surrounding area on foot or by bike.
