The “Zur Ottoquelle” inn is a prominent landmark in Wahlstorf: it has been run by the fourth generation since 1863. The municipality of Gehlsbach also offers specific natural highlights, from a protected body of water to heathland and moorland. Dining, landscapes and outdoor activities offer different starting points for planning your trip.

The Zur Ottoquelle Inn

The “Zur Ottoquelle” inn has a restaurant and can host celebrations for up to 100 people in its hall and the adjoining park. This capacity offers groups a useful first point of reference. You should coordinate the date and event arrangements directly with the inn, as visitor arrangements may change. Dining at the restaurant and holding a group celebration are different occasions: for a celebration, the hall and adjoining park are available as venues, while the restaurant is the inn’s dining option. If an event is the reason for your trip, you can specify the group size and the setting you are looking for when making your enquiry.

The Ottoquelle Spring and Gehlsbach

The Ottoquelle spring feeds the Gehlsbach. The stream is considered a protected trout water and follows a natural course. Its connection to the spring, protected status and natural course give the waterway a distinctive natural character. This sets the Gehlsbach apart from the heathland: here, a body of water is the focus, while sand, dry grassland and Calluna heath define the landscape there.

Heathland, Marienfließ and Quaßliner Moor

The heathland in the municipality of Gehlsbach extends to the border with Brandenburg. Its features include sand and dry grassland, as well as extensive Calluna heath in the Marienfließ nature reserve. Quaßliner Moor is another nature destination. These landscapes can be distinguished: Marienfließ combines the heathland and dry grassland features mentioned above with a nature reserve, while the moor offers a character of its own. If you choose nature destinations by landscape type, you can take these differences into account when planning, rather than treating heathland and moorland as interchangeable.

Walks and Horseback Riding

In Gehlsbach, walks and horseback rides through the heathland are among the possible activities. Walking and riding are different ways to get around in this landscape. Marienfließ and Quaßliner Moor, by contrast, are specific nature destinations. This distinction can help with planning your day: would you mainly like to explore the heathland, or choose a named nature area as your destination? Check current routes and access conditions before setting out on specific excursions, as they may change.

Choose the Focus of Your Stay

For trip planning, it helps to group the options by purpose: the inn is the place to go for a meal or group celebration; the Gehlsbach represents a protected body of water; and walks and horseback rides focus on outdoor activities in the heathland. Marienfließ and Quaßliner Moor are specific nature destinations.
