The Lübthen Heath is the largest contiguous heathland in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and has been part of the UNESCO Elbe River Landscape Biosphere Reserve since 2015.
📜 Formerly a military training area, the area is now a unique natural heritage site with a rare active inland dune.
🦉 Many rare animals such as the Boreal Owl, Nightjar, and Red-backed Shrike have found a protected habitat here.
🛡️ Large parts of the heath are core and conservation zones where nature is allowed to develop freely.
🌄 Along the way, open sandy areas alternate with heather and sparse pine forests.
🏚️ Relics such as the remains of bunkers and traces of the former village of Quast recall the region's turbulent past.
⚠️ It is important not to leave the marked trails, as explosive ordnance may still be found in the ground off the trail.
📍 Red-headed posts and information boards at the starting points of the routes provide orientation.
