“But perhaps the time is not yet ripe for that (...) lest one day they bring misfortune upon each other, along with their peoples. And if they should nevertheless do so, may the dear Lord, in his will, ordain that at least afterwards, when the calamity has already befallen them all, they find their way back to each other and make peace once and for all in this world.” So writes Otfried Preußler (born in 1923 in Reichenberg, Bohemia), best known as a children's author, in his work “The Flight to Egypt. Royal Bohemian Part.” While his words, within the context of the story, refer to the German and Czech inhabitants of the Kingdom of Bohemia, his statement is actually universal and timeless.

In the Battle of Wakenstädt, Swedish troops defeated the allied Danish and Saxon troops on December 20, 1712 near Gadebusch in West Mecklenburg during the Great Northern War. The Swedish commander-in-chief, Magnus Stenbock, had previously positioned himself between the Russian-Saxon troops stationed south of Stralsund and the Danish troops gathered near Hamburg in order to prevent the allies from uniting. As coordination difficulties delayed the deployment of the Russian artillery in particular, it was not used in the Battle of Gadebusch, so Stenbock was able to win a victory against a Danish-Saxon army. It was also the last major victory for the Swedes in the Great Northern War. Although the Swedes won the battle, it exacerbated the existing problems of their own army: around 1,500 men were killed or wounded, and the infantry regiments were short of many officers. Furthermore, many horses were killed, which weakened the artillery and cavalry. The supply situation remained tense for the Swedes. The Danish infantry had been fragmented and suffered heavy losses, but was soon able to reorganize and recover. The Danish cavalry suffered only a few losses in the battle. The fate of this Swedish army was to be sealed by a union of the Danes with the Saxons and Russians in Holstein during the siege of Tönning in 1713/14. Since 2000, a memorial complex has been built in Wakenstädt, in the middle of the historic battlefield. Today it consists of several international memorial stones, large information boards and the "Swedish hut". The Swedish hut was modeled on a Swedish soldier's hut from the 18th century. Since August 2016, there has been a completely redesigned exhibition inside on the archaeology of the Battle of Gadebusch with information boards and archaeological finds recovered from the battlefield. Another part of the hut was decorated in the style of the 18th century. It also serves as the centre for events as part of the Gadebusch-Åmål town twinning, where the events of over 300 years ago are remembered together. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlacht_bei_Gadebusch

From this shelter you have a great view of the Baltic Sea. Coniferous forest all around.

A simple covered bench with seating. It is perfectly adequate for shelter from the rain or for a little shade.

You can sit out a rain shower here.
