A beautiful place to take a break.

The trail has some climbs and descents. The slabs have holes in them, making it quite bumpy, but the trail is quite easy to ride.

A straight, sandy path steeped in history. The inner-German border once ran here, and today it forms the border between Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Heather now grows on the former border strip. The path is easy to navigate by mountain bike, although you might occasionally slip a bit.

A detour from the circular trail to the ancient and mighty Hutebuche is worthwhile. Hudewälder (forests), also called Hutewald (forests), are an ancient form of forest management in which livestock were driven into the forest for grazing ("hutting"). The pigs and cattle ate beechnuts, acorns, and herbs, thus preventing natural forest regeneration. Only a few, now very old and mighty trees with spreading crowns remained standing. However, another traditional farming forest use, the "Krattwald" (forest), seems to have led to the emergence of this Hutebuche. According to this, it was "cut back to the stump" every 15 to 20 years, resulting in increasingly voluminous new shoots. The harvest had a variety of uses: the bark was used for tanning, the wood as building material and fuel, and the leaves as fodder and bedding for livestock. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutebaum

When you enter the village from Kuhlenfeld, look to the left and you will see this great view

The Schwanheide chapel was inaugurated on June 19, 1955. The chapel was initially known as the "Christian teaching barracks." The first evidence of planning can be found in 1953, and the construction itself took place essentially in 1955. The chapel was inaugurated in the same year. Schwanheide belonged to the Protestant parish of Zweedorf until 1961. After the inner-German border was established on August 13, 1961, it was separated from Zweedorf. Shortly afterwards, the small wooden chapel was built based on the Swedish model. In 1991, the free-standing bell tower was added. The bronze bell hanging in it was cast in 1651 and comes from the destroyed church in Zweedorf. www.dorfkirchen-in-mv.de/content/Version_1/detail_total.php?Reg_Nr=1517 www.kirche-mv.de/zweedorf/kirchen/kapelle-schwanheide
