Tourist information and welcome centres, holidays in the countryside, sustainable

The former Premonstratensian convent in Rehna is a place of peace and inspiration. Located in the middle of the Maurine-Ragedast region, the former monastery complex reflects the history of this region. Great concerts in the nuns' garden, contemporary art exhibitions in the cloister, treading water in the Kneipp pool and guided tours of the monastery garden are offered today in one of the largest monastery complexes in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The monastery town of Rehna, in the heart of northwestern Mecklenburg, lies on the little river Radegast, picturesquely nestled in a gentle, hilly landscape. With its half-timbered houses, artesian wells and the former monastery complex in the center, the town tells its story at first glance. Founded in the course of Christianization, the town is inextricably linked with the monastery. Rehna Monastery is described by many visitors as a place of tranquility. At the same time, during a visit you can learn about the eventful history of the former monastery complex. The buildings bear witness to eastern colonization, the life of the Premonstratensian nuns in northwest Mecklenburg, secularization and the administrative history of the Rehna region. The 300 m² monastery garden, newly laid out in 2004, the park around the mill pond, the Kneipp facility, art exhibitions in the cloister, concerts in the nuns' garden and five artesian wells in the town can be experienced. Special half-timbered houses are the German House with a traditional costume exhibition, the former town hall and the oldest houses in town in Mühlenstraße.

The Rehna Monastery Association offers guided tours of the monastery grounds, guided tours of the town, guided tours of the monastery garden and bicycle tours. The monastery garden with its variety of aromatic, medicinal and herbal plants is a crowd puller. Guided tours can be arranged at the monastery and town information office. Visitors can use the free parking lot behind the monastery. And the monastery café on the church square offers homemade cakes and is an ideal place to linger and enjoy. The integrated natural goods store offers natural cosmetics.

Pilgrimage and hiking trails lead from Rehna on natural field paths through a hilly yet classic Mecklenburg landscape from monastery to monastery to Zarrentin and Ratzeburg. Stops along the way are the villages, their churches visible from afar. Parsonages and simple guesthouses offer accommodations. These paths are ideal for gazing far into the landscape or paying attention to what is close at hand.

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.

Climate forest Seefelder Holz

Freely accessible at any time
19205 Mühlen Eichsen

The event was organized by the Schwerin-based energy supplier WEMAG together with the state forestry department and the MV tourism association. Over a thousand English oaks and typical forest edge trees such as wild fruit trees and shrubs marked the start of the development of this site, which has now unmistakably found its rightful place in the series of climate forests in MV.
