Ruhner Berge Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Unfortunately, it was not possible to climb the tower, and it was particularly disappointing that there was no information on the official pages about the closure that has been in place since June 2025.

Forest Path Junction

Highlight • Trail

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.

To the observation tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

To get to the lookout tower "Ruhner Berge", you have to turn off the bike and walk. The little detour is worthwhile in any case, because the view from the top of the mountains and forests is simply breathtaking.
