Kublank combines the layout of a linear village with a history of its own. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first decide whether the village’s history should be the main focus of your trip, or whether nature in the wider Mecklenburg Lake District destination should be the deciding factor. This makes it possible to plan your accommodation around whether you are primarily interested in the local village setting or in a broader range of nature and activities.
Linear Village, Church and Local History
At Kublank’s western end, the linear village opens out into a pond-like square. The church stands beside the road, set slightly back. The village layout can be read as a transition from a linear streetscape to an expanded, square-like space; the church building adds its own spatial accent. Together, these features create a clear sequence for finding your way around the village.
Kublank was first mentioned in 1298: in a deed of donation from Margrave Albrecht to Wanzka Abbey, the place appears as “Cvbiank”. The church burned down in 1911 and was slightly altered during its reconstruction in 1913–1914. Next to the churchyard of the fieldstone church stands a listed rectory. The village setting thus brings together the historical record of its name, the church’s construction history and another protected building.
There is also a landscape feature at municipal level: the 246-hectare Eichhorster Wald FFH site lies within the municipality of Kublank. The forest is therefore a nature feature at municipal level, alongside the village’s architectural and local-history themes.
Nature in the Mecklenburg Lake District
The wider Mecklenburg Lake District destination offers a changing range of opportunities to explore the landscape. The Müritz National Park is characterised by forests, moors, lakes and expansive meadows. Its hiking trail covers landscape types and special features of the park in nine stages: the route follows lakeshores, passes through ancient forests and by inland dunes, and leads to the source of the Havel.
In addition, certified nature and landscape guides offer informative tours through Müritz National Park. These include guided tours in the UNESCO World Heritage beech forest at Serrahn and tours from the water. The hiking trail is described in nine stages; the guided tours have their own focus areas, including the beech forest and views from the water.
Visitors can observe animals at the Damerower Werder bison reserve. The reserve is located on a peninsula in Lake Kölpin, in the Mecklenburg Lake District and in the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide Nature Park. The forest adventure trail features climbing opportunities, an ant house, an exhibition with touch-and-see panels, and a dendrophone. Wildlife observation and the trail’s various stations offer different ways to enjoy a visit.
For those exploring by water, the Neustrelitz town harbour offers another regional perspective: from there, they can explore Müritz National Park and the Strelitz Small Lakes via the Upper Havel Waterway.
