The best family-friendly hikes and walks around Bengerstorf

You can see this tower from the Engelsberg between Pötrau and Schulendorf on the horizon. However, the visit was not really worth it. The area around the tower is heavily wooded, so the view is zero, and there is also no bench or resting place far and wide.

A detour from the circular trail to the ancient and mighty Hutebuche is worthwhile. Hudewälder (forests), also called Hutewald (forests), are an ancient form of forest management in which livestock were driven into the forest for grazing ("hutting"). The pigs and cattle ate beechnuts, acorns, and herbs, thus preventing natural forest regeneration. Only a few, now very old and mighty trees with spreading crowns remained standing. However, another traditional farming forest use, the "Krattwald" (forest), seems to have led to the emergence of this Hutebuche. According to this, it was "cut back to the stump" every 15 to 20 years, resulting in increasingly voluminous new shoots. The harvest had a variety of uses: the bark was used for tanning, the wood as building material and fuel, and the leaves as fodder and bedding for livestock. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutebaum

The Bretziner Heide nature reserve is a 32 hectare nature reserve in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, eight kilometers northeast of Boizenburg. It is one of the last dry dwarf shrub heaths in West Mecklenburg. It was declared a protected area on April 16, 1974. The area is in good condition, as the invasion of woody plants has been slowed down by ploughing and sheep grazing. Surrounding towns are Bretzin, which gives the area its name, not far to the south, and Wiebendorf. The nature reserve is located in the Mecklenburg Elbe Valley Nature Park. The areas can be walked on existing paths. There is a visitor parking lot in the southern area. http://www.traumziel-mv.de/wandern/touren-in-der-region/lewitz-mecklenburgisches-elbetal/tourendetails/bretziner-heide.html

The municipality of Greven is located on the federal highway 195 between the cities of Zarrentin am Schaalsee and Boizenburg on the state border with Schleswig-Holstein. The Boize and the Mühlenbach flow through the municipality in a southerly direction towards the Sude and Elbe. In the municipality is the highest point of the Granziner Heidberge with 103 meters. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greven_(Mecklenburg)

A detour from the circular route through the Bretzinger Heide to the old and mighty hut beech is worthwhile. A signposted beautiful MTB trail leads there, which is blocked by three smaller tree trunks, but which can be easily overcome. Hude forests, also called hat forests, are an old form of use, in which the cattle were herded into the forest for herding ("hats"). The pigs and cattle ate beechnuts, acorns and herbs, so that natural forest regeneration was prevented. Only a few, today very old and mighty trees with protruding crowns remained. Another traditional rural forest use, the "Krattwald", seems to have led to the creation of this hut beech. Accordingly, it was "put on the stick" every 15 to 20 years, which led to an increasingly voluminous rash of new shoots. The harvest was used in many different ways: the bark for tanning, the wood as building and fuel, the leaves as feed and litter for cattle.
