Shop regionally, sustainable

The elf school is a place of inspiration. Here people find space and opportunity to discover their creative power and follow their intuition. Together we are in the process of making the Little People of Schaalsee visible again, reminding us of the forces of nature and expanding our perception.

There are elves, fairies, goblins, trolls and nature spirits in the Schaalsee UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, of that Ines Bargholz, founder of the elf school in Neuenkirchen, is certain. Her Elfenschule is a place of inspiration where visitors should be enchanted and where they can find space to develop their creative power and follow their intuition.
Ines Bargholz offers so-called elf weekends. These include a guided elf hike as well as a modeling course where participants can make their own elf. Those who don't want to book a whole weekend can discover the wondrous creatures during an elf afternoon, which also includes a hike.
The elf school is located on a strong energy site, just opposite the oldest church in West Mecklenburg, in the middle of a specially protected cultural landscape, between Hamburg and Schwerin. Here people have the opportunity to discover a wonderful world in an enchanting natural landscape on winding riverside paths.

Climate Forest Biosphere Reserve Schaalsee

  • Freely accessible at any time
  • 19217 Dechow

The former inner-German border strip, the "Green Belt", is virtually predestined to be further enhanced by the creation of new forest areas. So it was only logical to add another climate forest to the existing ones in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern from summer 2010. The first planting campaign took place in April 2011. The total area consists of three parcels of land, two of which were reforested as part of the planting campaign with the Schwerin energy supplier WEMAG.
