Discover Wolfshagen

Three distinct themes can help guide a trip to Wolfshagen: Lenné Park with its tiled bridge and monument, the circular route around Haussee, and the historic church. This means you can choose between landscaped grounds, a clearly described hiking trail, and buildings with different functions. When researching hotels in Wolfshagen, you can first decide whether to focus on the park’s history, a walk by the water, or culture in town.

Park, bridge and monument

The 3.1-hectare landscaped park was redesigned by Peter Joseph Lenné in the English style. A walk through the grounds crosses the tiled bridge and leads to the monument commemorating the Wars of Liberation from 1813 to 1815. In the wider Uckerland destination, the history of Wolfshagen Park dates back to the 17th century: it was first created in the French style near the palace garden; in the early 19th century, Lenné redesigned it as an English landscape garden. In the wider Uckerland destination, the tiled bridge in Wolfshagen is a 60-metre-long arched bridge made of fieldstone and brick, built in the 1830s and fully restored in 1995–1996.

Haussee circular trail and Blankenburg

Haussee offers a different way to plan a route. A two-kilometre hiking trail, mostly surrounded by woodland, loops around the 52-hectare lake. Its stated length provides a clear measure for choosing your route; along the way, there is access to the remains of Blankenburg and to the restored 24-metre-high keep. In the wider Uckerland destination, medieval Blankenburg stood on the western shore of Haussee; some fieldstone remains have survived. The keep was restored in 1999. The combination of a measured circular route and medieval remains sets this walk apart from the park route, which is defined by its tiled bridge and monument.

Church and architectural heritage

The church in Wolfshagen is an elaborately designed Neo-Gothic building, completed in 1858. Figures of Luther and Calvin stand at the main portal. Today, the church is used as a cultural and community centre and for civil weddings. In the wider Uckerland destination, the King’s Column, built in 1834, also stands in the centre of Wolfshagen; it is about 17 metres high. The two buildings can be distinguished by their type and use: the church combines Neo-Gothic architecture with its current uses, while the column is characterised by its date of construction and height.

When to visit and getting oriented

The road connection is also clear: Wolfshagen lies directly on Germany’s B 198 federal highway. In the wider Uckerland destination, the Rose Festival takes place in Wolfshagen every year; it was first held in 1858. If you would like to plan your trip around the festival, check the current dates before booking. This lets you plan your route and travel dates separately: the B 198 identifies the road connection, while the Rose Festival may be a reason to choose particular dates.
