To safely reach the farm again, you have to follow the trail through the forest. The path leads between the meadows back to the starting point. If you miss the point, just follow the bridle path and turn right on the wide path. At the next junction, turn right again onto the cobbled street with green areas.
Finally, you come to a distinctive place with street signs. Follow the sign to Drefahler Landgasthof.

Avenue Along the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern–Brandenburg Border

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Between KM 8.0 and 8.3 there is the opportunity to run in two federal states on a paved avenue: The state border between Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg runs right in the middle of the avenue - whoever walks on the left runs in Mecklenburg, whoever runs on the right runs in Brandenburg.

Pavilion at the Former Village of Ruhn

Highlight • Monument

The area around the namesake of the Ruhner Mountains is a little more open - the former village of Ruhn, which existed until 1982 and is now just a desert area. Apart from a covered monument, there is nothing left to remind us of the former village, where around 149 people still lived in 1949. Since Ruhn is located in a lowland, from here it goes back up to the Ruhner Berg. Thanks to the many cultivated paddocks and pastures, you can get a better view of the hilly landscape than from the forests, because unfortunately the individual mountains in the dense forests can only be glimpsed.

7° Celsius outside temperature with 50-60 km/h wind gusts - the perfect conditions for a hike in the fresh air through the Ruhner Mountains - a small ridge (the second highest elevations) south of Parchim in beautiful Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The Ruhn Mountains rise from a crescent-shaped terminal moraine from the past Saale Ice Age, named after the former village of …
