Ahlbeck: Hotels and Accommodation

The Ahlbeck Seegrund is a 1,166-hectare wetland known locally as “Fenn.” It is also Germany’s largest calcareous quaking bog. The Ahlbeck Fenn is home to rare species, including the coralroot orchid, which occurs only there in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Nature

The Ueckermünde Heath is an almost 10,000-hectare area belonging to the DBU National Natural Heritage, with more than 80 percent forest. Large parts overlap with the Am Stettiner Haff Nature Park.

Church and Local History

The Ahlbeck church is a Baroque half-timbered building constructed in 1759. Its 31-metre-high tower is topped by a dome with an open lantern. The organ was built in 1832 by August Wilhelm Grüneberg of Stettin.

Next to the Ahlbeck church stands an almost 300-year-old summer lime tree, which is designated a natural monument. Several houses near the church display a style of architecture typical of the region. Ahlbeck’s history is documented back to the 12th century; the village was founded on the shore of a lake rich in eels.

Visits to the Ahlbeck local history room are arranged by appointment.

Getting Around

The old railway embankment serves as a cycle path and connects the villages. Ahlbeck is also home to Fennhof, an equestrian farm with facilities for horse riding and cycling.

Other places in the same regional administrative division include Altwarp, Leopoldshagen, Luckow, Vogelsang-Warsin, Lübs, Liepgarten and Mönkebude.
