Bench With View of the Heath

Highlight • Viewpoint

A plain simple bench where you can enjoy the view of the heath. This is a highlight, especially in August when it blooms. And in late summer/autumn it's spectacular when it's foggy in the early morning hours.

Forst and Charcoal Burner’s Farm Wiethagen

Highlight • Historical Site

The last functioning tar smoldering plant in Central Europe is operated by a club and charcoal, wood vinegar and tar are produced with the double-walled tar smoldering kiln. The furnace is put into operation four times a year. On the site at the edge of the Rostock Heath is also a small museum, which gives an insight into the forestry, in technology and history of the wood harvesting and the military use of the heath from 1945 - 1999. Remnants of the military use are many fortified forest roads in the Rostock heath, which today serve well as cycle paths.

From the adventure village in Rövershagen we went to the Rostock Heath. The route mostly went through the forest. A very beautiful route and really quiet - when I returned to the adventure village I was a bit overwhelmed by the many people and the hustle and bustle.
