パルヒティッツの天然記念物・トップ20

Beautiful pond area🤙

There are three free options for parking your car and then starting your hike: The official car park is at Stadthof (east of the lake), or you can park in Parchtitz (approaching from the west), or in the large Familia car park and then cross the B96 (this is how you get to the lake from the south).

On April 21, 2025: Barn swallows have nested here, which I naturally left alone. So, birdwatching is only possible from outside the door!

Covered observation platform that is freely accessible all year round. Particularly interesting in September/October when many cranes can be seen here.

The Witches' Forest is a group of trees consisting of dwarf beeches that are over 80 years old. These bizarre, magical and mysterious trees can be seen from far away. The branches of the trees are so bizarrely intertwined that from a distance it almost looks like a giant umbrella. A truly mystical place.

The ten dwarf beeches in the Semper Forest Park are a very rare variety of common beech. They were planted in 1920. Süntel beeches, also known as witchwood, rarely live longer than 160 years.

Beautiful nature by the lake

At this point near Lietzow - in one of the magically light-filled beech forests typical of Rügen - you will find a unique collection of so-called dwarf beeches: these are one or two handfuls of strangely gnarled beeches that form a circle and create a dense, dome-like canopy. Definitely worth a visit!
