    If you start the tour in Hohenkirchen, you can first admire the brick church from the 15th century. This is the namesake of the place. The tour also offers a stop at Gut Manderow, which has been extensively renovated by the owners over the past few years. Guided tours are even possible by arrangement. Another highlight is the Fierdsberg near Hoikendorf, where Emperor Wilhelm II held a large military exercise in 1904. The Mühlenberg also offers a beautiful view over the Mecklenburg landscape. 

    The tour is more demanding due to the differences in elevation and paths, as it challenges its visitors a lot. 

    Author’s recommendation

    From summer 2022, a café is expected to open at Gut Manderow - a visit will be worthwhile!
