Discover Mandelshagen

Mandelshagen can be explored through a variety of themes: the village church in Blankenhagen is a fieldstone church, first mentioned in official records on 23 August 1318. Nature lovers and hunters may encounter red deer, fallow deer, wild boar and roe deer in Billenhägener Forest. The Mandelshagen community centre can be rented for private celebrations or events. These themes offer different perspectives for a stay. Consider whether you are more interested in nature, architectural history or an event.

Nature and circular hiking trails in Billenhägener Forest

In the extensive woodland of Billenhägener Forest, nature lovers and hunters may encounter red deer, fallow deer, wild boar and roe deer. Well-maintained circular hiking trails run through the forest, where visitors can experience nature. This offers two different ways to explore: a hike as an active nature experience, and the opportunity to encounter wildlife. If you are interested in the forest, you can decide whether you would prefer to explore it on foot or focus on its wildlife.

Fieldstone church and parish

The village church in Blankenhagen is a fieldstone church; it was first mentioned in official records on 23 August 1318. The year points to its early documentary history, while the fieldstone points to its construction—two specific points of interest if you are interested in village churches and their history.

Mandelshagen belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Blankenhagen in the district of Rostock. This parish belongs to the Rostock provostship in the Mecklenburg church district of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany (Nordkirche). If attending a church service is important to your plans, check the local church affiliation before relying on it.

Rooms for private celebrations

Third parties can rent the multipurpose room, the storage room with its integrated kitchenette, and the toilets at the Mandelshagen community centre for private celebrations or events. Rental is at the municipality’s discretion; there is no legal entitlement to use the facilities. If you are planning a celebration, check with the municipality in advance about using the venue.

An announcement dated 28 May 2024 also scheduled an open day there for the third Friday of each month at 18:00, except in July and August. It was intended for residents of the municipality of Blankenhagen and the surrounding area. Before setting off, check whether this schedule is still in effect.

Find the right accommodation for your trip

An interest in nature can be combined with the chance to encounter wildlife or a hike along the circular trails; visitors more interested in historic village architecture will find a tangible point of interest in the fieldstone church. For a private occasion, by contrast, the community centre’s discretionary rental is what matters. These different interests can help structure your accommodation search and help you weigh up the themes that matter for your trip.
