The Kingfisher Valley near Bad Stuer is an idyllic, unspoiled stream valley in the Mecklenburg Lake District, crossed by the Stuer Stream. The steep slopes and tranquil waterways provide ideal breeding conditions for kingfishers, which can regularly be observed here. The area is particularly popular with nature lovers and cyclists. Several well-maintained trails lead through the valley. Access is possible from the Müritz Bear Sanctuary or directly from the Bad Stuer campsite. The valley combines nature observation, tranquility, and scenic beauty in a small space and is a true highlight for anyone who enjoys native wildlife and tranquil nature.

A very beautiful natural monument, a real eye-catcher.

Definitely worth a detour. When approaching from Neukrug: There is no path directly across the field, but it is easy to drive along the edge of the forest in autumn. In summer the path is certainly too sandy.

The crown oak is near Minzow in the middle of the forest next to the Hagen forester's lodge. The forester's house was built at the end of the 19th century as a wood warden and named after the fierce Hagen, the first forest warden to look after the city forest. The name Kron is derived from Slavic and means crane. It is not known whether cranes used to breed near or on the oak. The oak is in the area of the town of Röbel, but is consistently attributed to Minzow in the literature. The northeast-sloping trunk begins strong and massive, tapering off rapidly. The monumental trunk is heavily covered with moss, especially towards the road. The oak was struck by lightning several times. A lightning strike left a large gap on the south side, which was sealed with bricks. Several gnarled branches go off the trunk. The lower branches are dead or broken off. The rather high crown is quite irregular due to several broken branches. The vitality of the oak is still quite good. With a breast height of 9.90 m, the crown oak is one of the ten thickest oaks in Germany. www.monumentale-eichen.de/mecklenburg-vorpommern/minzow

The Crown Oak stands near Minzow in the middle of the forest next to the Hagen Forester's House. The forester's house was built at the end of the 19th century as a timber keeper's house and named after the grim Hagen, the first forester to look after the city forest. The name "Kron" is derived from the Slavic word "crane." It is unknown whether cranes once nested near or on the oak. The oak stands within the territory of the town of Röbel, but in literature it is consistently attributed to Minzow. The trunk, leaning to the northeast, begins strong and massive, then quickly tapers. The monumental trunk is heavily covered in moss, especially toward the road. The oak has been struck by lightning several times. A lightning strike left a large gap on the south side, which was then closed with bricks. Several gnarled branches extend from the trunk. The lower branches are dead or broken off. The relatively tall crown is quite irregular due to several broken branches. The oak's vitality is still quite good. With a breast height circumference of 9.90 m, the Crown Oak is one of the ten thickest oaks in Germany. https://www.monumentale-eichen.de/mecklenburg-vorpommern/minzow/

In the idyllic Rohrteich, which is actually a lake due to its size, it was teeming with lots of tiny tadpoles today. We haven't seen so many in one place for a long time. Hopefully as many of them as possible survive and grow into large frogs after the metamorphosis.

Since the water surface of the Rohrteich with 3.5 ha has reached the minimum size of a lake of 1 ha, it is also a lake. This is also confirmed by the information on the information board. I submitted a change proposal to Komoot today. lake or pond? village or city? The proper names sometimes have a special meaning....Düsseldorf is no longer a village, but has even become a big city and hasn't changed the name either.😂😉

Impressive huge old oak, but be careful, the tree is in the middle of a busy road.
