Wolfshagen: Lenné Park, Haussee Lake and village culture

Wolfshagen brings together three distinct themes: a landscaped park shaped by Peter Joseph Lenné, a mostly wooded circular trail around Haussee Lake and striking buildings in the village. This offers a range of options, from a walk to the lake and castle ruins to church architecture. When planning your trip, you can explore these different highlights separately.

Park, bridge and monument

The 3.1-hectare landscaped park was redesigned by Peter Joseph Lenné in the English style. A walk through the park takes you across the 60-metre-long tiled bridge to a monument commemorating the Wars of Liberation from 1813 to 1815. The park, bridge and monument give the walk a clear historical focus.

The tiled bridge is an arch bridge made of fieldstones and bricks. It was built in the 1830s and fully restored from 1995 to 1996. Its design and materials give it a distinctive character within the park visit: alongside the landscaped grounds, you will encounter a striking structure with a history of its own.

Circular trail around Haussee Lake and Blankenburg

A different perspective awaits on the two-kilometre hiking trail around the 52-hectare Haussee Lake. The route runs mostly through woodland and includes access to the remains of Blankenburg and its restored, 24-metre-high keep. This makes it quite different from the park walk: here, the lake, forest and historic castle site take centre stage, while the park walk focuses on a bridge and monument in landscaped grounds.

The stated trail length makes this circular walk a practical option for planning your trip. If you want to fit in different interests, you can treat it as a separate activity alongside visits to the park and cultural sites, rather than combining every theme into a single outing.

Neo-Gothic church and culture in the village

Wolfshagen Church is an elaborate neo-Gothic building completed in 1858. Figures of Luther and Calvin stand at the main portal. The church is used as a cultural and community centre and also hosts civil wedding ceremonies. In Wolfshagen, this links architectural history with the building’s present-day cultural and community uses.

Wolfshagen is located directly on German federal highway B 198. This road connection also helps you orient yourself to the village’s location.

More experiences in the wider Uckerland destination

Beyond Wolfshagen, the wider Uckerland destination offers further landscapes and cultural attractions. Wolfshagen hosts the annual Rose Festival, which was first celebrated in 1858. The King’s Column in the village centre is another historic landmark: it was erected in 1834 and is about 17 metres high.

The Berlin–Usedom cycle route passes through the villages of the Trebenow district. The Köhntoptal nature reserve is also near Trebenow, with dry grassland slopes where various protected plants grow. These offer a different focus from the park and lakeside trails in Wolfshagen.

The lake landscape is also part of what the wider Uckerland destination has to offer: in summer, Großer Lübbenower See is a popular place for swimming. Großer and Kleiner Lübbenower See are also protected landscape features and breeding waters for numerous waterbirds. Churches of note include the early Gothic fieldstone church in Hetzdorf, with its richly decorated, three-tiered 1620 altar, and the medieval fieldstone church in Wismar, surrounded by a substantial defensive wall and home to a historically valuable Classical organ.
