Wulkenzin: Forest Paths, Lake Tollensesee and Village Church
Accommodation in Wulkenzin
If you want to consider forest paths, the lake and cycling when choosing where to stay, Wulkenzin offers some specific points of interest: Gatsch Eck is nestled in Brodaer Holz forest, right on Lake Tollensesee, and numerous forest paths lead from the village to the western shore. There is also the village church and a section of the Tollensesee cycling circuit.
Forest Paths and Lake Tollensesee
Brodaer Holz is a varied woodland area with beech and oak trees near the lake; Gatsch Eck is nestled in the forest right on Lake Tollensesee. The campsite is open every year from April 1 to October 31. Check these dates again before you travel.
Numerous forest paths lead from the village of Wulkenzin to the western shore of Lake Tollensesee, about two kilometres away. Two points of reference are important for finding your way: the paths lead from the village to the shore, while Gatsch Eck is right on the lake.
Cycling around Wulkenzin
The Tollensesee cycling circuit is 35 kilometres long and hilly. Overall, it follows well-gravelled or paved paths and, in places, quiet side roads. Surfaces and route conditions can change; check the current conditions before your ride.
Within the municipality of Wulkenzin, the section described is Gatscher Weg along the lake to Gatsch Eck campsite. A 2026 administrative report notes that cyclists currently have to use the unimproved summer path there. The 35 kilometres and hilly profile describe the circuit as a whole, while the summer path refers to the local section mentioned. Check the path conditions before setting off.

Tollense Court in Wulkenzin offers tennis, badminton and squash. As individual offerings may change, check which sports are currently available before visiting.
Wulkenzin Church
Wulkenzin Church is a rectangular brick hall on a fieldstone plinth. Its choir has a polygonal end, and a tower stands in front of the church. Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel, building councillor of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and a student of Schinkel, built it in 1830–31.
Here, “polygonal” means that the choir end has several sides, making the shape of the church easier to understand without specialist knowledge.
The organ also tells its own local story: Ernst Sauer originally built it in 1839 for the teachers’ seminary in Mirow. In 1887, Edmund Bruder of Wismar moved it to Wulkenzin. The altar area is at the west end rather than, as is usual, the east.
Nine small painted panes in the apse windows show different scenes and come from the predecessor church; many bear the year 1695. Wulkenzin was a parish location from an early date. The building, organ and windows thus reveal different periods in the local church’s history.
