Barnin

Bathing area, sunbathing lawn and canoe trip

Lake Barnin is considered ideal for fishing and swimming. The beach at the outdoor swimming area by the lake has an expansive sunbathing lawn. There is also a children’s playground in the beach area. If you like to spend part of your holiday by the water, you’ll find these different features together at this bathing area: space to lie in the sun and a playground.

Canoeists can launch their canoes at the outdoor swimming area on Lake Barnin. The canoe route runs from Lake Barnin to the point where the Warnow flows out, then continues along the river.

The Warnow flows through the municipality of Barnin. The river is therefore also part of the municipality’s geographical setting. There are several options to consider when planning your holiday: a day swimming at Lake Barnin, fishing, or a canoe trip that continues along the Warnow. These activities provide practical starting points for planning a stay by the water, without needing to combine them into a single excursion.

Village church, farmhouses and museum

Barnin Village Church was consecrated on 6 June 1869. Its design has remained virtually unchanged from Krüger’s original specifications. This makes it a special destination for travellers interested in local architectural and church history. Two aspects stand out when you visit the church: the exact date of its consecration and the largely preserved design based on Krüger’s specifications.

The village is also home to old thatched farmhouses. They offer a different way to explore local history than the church, focusing on the traditional construction of the houses. If you enjoy experiencing different aspects of a place when you travel, you can take in the architecture of the farmhouses and the history of the church as distinct impressions.

The “De Dörpstuw” village museum adds to these discoveries. Its collection consists primarily of items on loan or donated by residents of Barnin and Hof Barnin. The origins of these objects connect the museum with people from both villages. Together with the old farmhouses and the village church, it offers a cultural perspective on Barnin that is distinct from spending time by the lake.

Events and choosing the right kind of holiday

Barnin has a lively cultural scene with traditional events, supported by the cultural association and the Hof Barniner Landverein. Numerous events are also held in summer on the festival meadow by the beach in Barnin. Culture and summer festivities at the beach provide another focus alongside swimming, fishing and canoeing.

When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home in Barnin, it can help to first decide what kind of stay you want. If you mainly want to spend time by the lake, the bathing area, sunbathing lawn, playground and fishing opportunities are useful points to consider. For a more active holiday, there is also the canoe route. If you would rather focus on village history and local culture, there are the church, farmhouses, museum and events. Barnin’s convenient connection to the A14 federal motorway is another factor to consider when planning your journey.
