An accessible spa park at the Haus des Gastes, the town church in Feldberg and a hand-operated cable ferry on Lake Schmaler Luzin reveal different sides of the Feldberg Lake District.
A nature park with diverse landscapes
The Feldberg Lake District Nature Park covers 360 km². Its landscape includes extensive forests, clear lakes, flat meadows and prominent hills; it is also home to 14 nature reserves. The natural environment is therefore defined by more than its lakes: open meadows and hills sit alongside woodland and water. If nature is a priority for you, these different landscape features can help shape your decision.
The nature park is home to numerous white-tailed eagles, ospreys and lesser spotted eagles, as well as black storks and red kites. Its birdlife adds a distinct natural dimension to the landscape. For anyone choosing a destination with wildlife as well as forests and waters in mind, this is another facet of the nature park.
Spa park and town church in Feldberg
The spa park in the municipality of Feldberger Seenlandschaft is next to the Haus des Gastes and is accessible. It is a practical point of reference if accessibility is a factor in your plans. The town church in Feldberg offers a different focus: it is a replica of the old half-timbered church, which was destroyed by fire in 1870. The present building is therefore not the original church that has been preserved, but a replica—a story that can be told in a concise historical context.
A hand-operated cable ferry on Lake Schmaler Luzin
In the Hullerbusch and Schmaler Luzin Nature Reserve, a hand-operated passenger cable ferry runs daily between the Feldberg shore and the Hullerbusch shore. This connection is another point to consider when planning, alongside visits to the park and church. If you plan to take the ferry, check its operating schedule in advance; it may change.
More nature and cultural experiences in the wider Mecklenburg Lake District destination
The wider Mecklenburg Lake District destination also offers distinctive nature experiences. Müritz National Park is part of the Mecklenburg Lake District and is characterised by forests, bogs, lakes and expansive meadows. The Müritz National Park Hiking Trail takes in the park’s landscape types and distinctive features over nine stages. It follows lakeshores, passes through ancient forests and by inland dunes, and leads to the source of the River Havel. This multi-stage route offers a different perspective on the region from the individual attractions in the Feldberg Lake District.
Certified nature and landscape guides offer informative tours through MĂĽritz National Park. These include tours in the Serrahn UNESCO World Heritage beech forest and excursions from the water. Alongside independent exploration, these guided experiences offer their own way of discovering the landscape, ranging from forest walks to tours on the water.
The Damerower Werder bison reserve offers another regional perspective. It is on a peninsula in Lake Kölpin, in the Mecklenburg Lake District and the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heath Nature Park. Visitors can observe bison there. The reserve also has a forest adventure trail with climbing facilities, an ant house, an exhibition featuring touch-and-see panels, and a dendrophone. Wildlife watching and the adventure trail give the reserve its different areas of focus.
For those travelling by water, the Neustrelitz town harbour offers another option in the wider Mecklenburg Lake District destination: via the Upper Havel Waterway, they can explore MĂĽritz National Park and the Strelitz Small Lakes area. In addition to hiking trails and guided tours, the region therefore offers travel by water as another way to plan your visit.
When choosing accommodation, you can start by weighing up the Feldberg attractions: the nature park and its landscapes and birdlife, the accessible spa park, the history of the town church, or the cable ferry. The examples from the Mecklenburg Lake District broaden the perspective to the wider destination without replacing the local experiences of the Feldberg Lake District.
