Feldberger Seenlandschaft: Eagles, Lakes and Cable Ferry
Accommodation in Feldberger Seenlandschaft
Forests, lakes, open meadows and hills define Feldberger Seenlandschaft Nature Park. Covering 360 km², it includes extensive forests, clear lakes, flat meadows and lofty hills, as well as 14 nature reserves. This gives the area a variety of landscapes that can be considered as different focal points when planning a holiday: water and forest, open spaces, or nature around Feldberg.

Nature Park and Wildlife
The nature park is home to numerous white-tailed eagles, ospreys and lesser spotted eagles, as well as black storks and red kites. This diversity of species gives nature enthusiasts another reason to experience the landscape through more than just its lakes and forests. Those with a particular interest in birds will find specific species here to look out for, without needing to expect to spot individual birds.
The size of the nature park and its 14 nature reserves also give the landscape its own distinctive character. The combination of clear lakes, wooded areas, flat meadows and lofty hills makes this natural environment varied. When choosing the focus of your holiday, you can therefore consider whether you would like to concentrate primarily on the landscape and observing nature, or also include cultural sites and individual activities.
Feldberg: Spa Park and Town Church
The spa park in the municipality of Feldberger Seenlandschaft, by the Haus des Gastes, is accessible to visitors with limited mobility. It provides a specific place to visit during a stay in Feldberg. The town church in Feldberg also offers a glimpse into local history: it is a replica of the old half-timbered church, which was destroyed in a fire in 1870. The nature park, spa park and church thus cater to different interests that you can take into account when planning your stay.
A Hand-Operated Cable Ferry
A hand-operated passenger cable ferry runs daily between the Feldberg and Hullerbusch shores in the Hullerbusch and Schmaler Luzin nature reserve. The crossing is a special experience for anyone interested in waterways and how the ferry operates. As the service may change, it is advisable to check whether the ferry is running on your planned day of visit.
More Nature Experiences in the Mecklenburg Lake District
The wider travel destination of the Mecklenburg Lake District also includes Müritz National Park, a landscape of forests, bogs, lakes and vast meadows. The Müritz National Park hiking trail explores the park’s landscape types and special features over nine stages: it runs along lakes, through ancient forests, past inland dunes and to the source of the River Havel. Certified nature and landscape guides offer informative tours there, including guided visits to the UNESCO World Heritage beech forest of Serrahn and tours from the water. The hiking trail and guided tours offer different perspectives: the trail connects landscape features along its stages, while the tours focus on specific topics.
Another distinct example in the Mecklenburg Lake District is the Damerower Werder bison reserve. It is located on a peninsula in Lake Kölpin and in Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide Nature Park. Visitors can observe bison there. The reserve also has a forest discovery trail with climbing opportunities, an ant house, an exhibition with tactile and visual panels, and a dendrophone. Wildlife watching and the trail’s various stops offer specific opportunities to explore the reserve.
Choosing the Focus of Your Holiday Apartment
When choosing a holiday apartment, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your holiday. If you are also planning independent experiences in other places in the Mecklenburg Lake District, it is worth taking the wider region into account.
