Nature awareness hike with Sonja Schürger, participation: 20 euros
"There is hardly a landscape, let alone a field, conceivable that would be incapable of aesthetic embellishment and economic improvement through planting under the organizing hand of the artist. Even the happiest landscape ... can be aesthetically embellished and economically improved by the correct application of garden art."
Peter Joseph Lenné, 1824
After founding the town of Putbus in 1810, Wilhelm Malte I not only developed his residence into Rügen's first seaside resort, but also turned the lands belonging to him into an aesthetically designed cultural landscape with a fine sense for combining the beautiful with the useful. In addition to the landscaped park in Putbus, which was laid out from 1805 onwards and flows into the countryside far beyond its borders, the prince had numerous roads built or repaired to suit the undulating topography of the terrain. With their avenue planting, they connect the villages like green veins to this day.
On a nature awareness hike between Krakvitz and Lake Wreechen, we follow the traces of Wilhelm Malte I's landscape embellishment and visit the Caspar David Friedrich viewpoint with a picturesque view of the island of Vilm.
