Wokuhl-Dabelow: Lutowsee, Half-Timbered Church and Nature

When planning a stay in Wokuhl-Dabelow, there are several things to consider: Lutowsee and the bathing area in Herzwolde, Buttel Church in Dabelow, and nature watching on Brückentiner Insel. Water, architectural history and nature each offer their own inspiration for planning your trip.

Lutowsee and the bathing area in Herzwolde

Lutowsee is located in the Feldberger Seenlandschaft Nature Park, within the municipality of Wokuhl-Dabelow. It is a long, narrow glacial channel lake with a relatively simple shape. Its form provides a scenic point of reference distinct from the actual bathing spot: the bathing area on Lutowsee is in Herzwolde and has a small sunbathing lawn and a jetty. If you are planning a stay by the water, both the character of the lake and the facilities at the bathing area are easy to identify.

Buttel Church and culture in Dabelow

Buttel Church in Dabelow is a half-timbered church built in 1855. It was built by Friedrich-Wilhelm Buttel, master builder, senior building councillor and Grand Ducal court architect. The specific construction date, half-timbered design and the builder's identity together make for a clearly defined architectural history. Exhibitions and concerts are held in the church several times a year. If you would like to plan your trip around an event, check the dates in advance.

Nature watching and activities

One of Wokuhl-Dabelow's attractions is the eagle observation stand on Brückentiner Insel. At the osprey observation point, the nature park and Inselhotel Brückentinsee jointly operate a camera at an osprey nest. The observation stand and the camera offer different ways to focus on ospreys.

Guests of the Brückentin Youth Nature Conservation Academy can take trips by bicycle, boat and canoe. This offer is for academy guests. If you would like to include such trips in your plans, check the guest services before you arrive.

Hotel on Herz-Insel

A 4-star hotel with a restaurant is located on the 40,000-square-metre Herz-Insel in Großer Brückentinsee. Check current availability and conditions before booking.

The Mecklenburg Lake District as a broader travel region

For a wider perspective, the Mecklenburg Lake District is a distinct, broader travel destination. Müritz National Park is part of this region and is characterised by forests, marshes, lakes and extensive meadows. The Müritz National Park hiking trail crosses the park's landscapes and notable features in nine stages: along lakes, through primeval forests, past inland dunes and as far as the source of the Havel. The stages and changes in landscape give you concrete points of reference to help decide whether this regional hiking trail fits your travel plans.

Certified nature and landscape guides offer informative tours through Müritz National Park. These include guided visits to the UNESCO World Heritage beech forest at Serrahn, as well as tours from the water. The focus here differs from that of the hiking trail: guided outings with nature and landscape guides, the beech forest at Serrahn, or a perspective from the water.

Another nature destination in the Mecklenburg Lake District is the Damerower Werder European Bison Reserve. It is located on a peninsula in Kölpinsee and in Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide Nature Park; visitors can observe European bison there. The reserve includes a forest discovery trail with climbing opportunities, an anthill house, an exhibition with touch-and-see panels, and a dendrophone. Wildlife watching and the trail's various features make this a distinct focus within the region's nature offerings.
