Hunting Lodge at Buchhorster Maase

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Located directly on the beautiful Mecklenburger Weg. Due to natural obstacles, this hiking trail is only passable on foot and therefore bicycle-free. Some sections of the path are a little overgrown by fern, otherwise a wonderful hiking trail.

As the name says Dune 10.
The fish rolls were freshly prepared for us. It was asked if you wanted onions, remoulade, gherkins. Top service.
Open from May to October, in winter it is completely dismantled here.

The Mecklenburger Weg is an old and scenic route to Prerow, passing the Buchhorster Maase. There, you'll find a thatched hunting lodge built in the 1980s for guests of the East German state hunt. Today, it's no longer in active use. Until reunification in 1989, large parts of the Darß area were a restricted area. Several panels on the building inform about the history of the Buchhorster Maase. Nearby, there's a large memorial stone for the forester, Baron Kurt von der Recke, and a circular pavilion. Please note: cycling is not permitted on the trail!

I can't understand why people cycle along here. The Mecklenburger Weg is clearly a hiking trail. And it also has a wooden barrier. It's a shame that some people don't stick to this and ruin this wonderful path. I can only recommend that every hiker put a thick branch on the path every now and then. If you're lucky you can see some animals here and you can hear endless birds.
