Schönfeld can be planned from three different perspectives: the village church and its organ history, the Peene River and its waterway rest stop, and a ranger-guided circular walk through the Peene Valley. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can choose what brings you here based on these differences. This helps you decide whether architecture, a connection to the water or guided walking should shape your stay.
The Peene River and geographical orientation
The Peene flows through the northern part of the municipality of Schönfeld. The Trittelwitz waterway rest stop is in the village of the same name on the Peene and has a slipway. The river’s location describes the landscape, while the rest stop is a specific water-related place within the municipality. The B 194 federal highway runs east of the municipality. This gives you two distinct points of reference for finding your way on a map: the Peene’s course to the north and the road to the east.
Village church with Grüneberg organ
Schönfeld village church is simple in design and has a tower added in the 16th century. Its Grüneberg organ dates from 1914. Those interested in rural church architecture can consider the building and the specifically dated instrument as two different aspects of local culture. The tower reflects an older architectural period than the organ. Several centuries separate the two.
Guided circular walk in the Peene Valley
A circular walk accompanied by nature park rangers passes through the partly wooded, partly meadow-covered slopes along the edge of the Peene Valley between Schönfeld and Verchen. Unlike a single church building, this tour focuses on the landscape and guided walking. If you plan to take the circular walk, check the latest dates before your trip.
Wider travel destination: Mecklenburg Lake District
The Mecklenburg Lake District offers a broader setting for exploring nature. Müritz National Park is part of this region and is characterized by forests, moors, lakes and wide meadows. The Müritz National Park Hiking Trail explores the park’s landscape types and distinctive features over nine stages; it passes lakes, goes through ancient woodlands, by inland dunes and to the source of the Havel. Certified nature and landscape guides offer informative tours through the national park, including tours in the UNESCO World Heritage beech forest of Serrahn and tours from the water. The trail and the guided tours offer different ways to discover the national park’s landscape.
Another example in the Mecklenburg Lake District is the Damerower Werder bison reserve. It is on a peninsula in Lake Kölpin and in Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heath Nature Park. Visitors can observe bison there. The reserve also has a forest discovery trail with climbing opportunities, an ant house, an exhibition with touch-and-see panels, and a dendrophone. Wildlife watching and the trail’s various features offer different ways to enjoy a visit to the wider travel destination.
