Guided hikes through Germany's oldest beech forest
The "Heilige Hallen" (Holy Halls) are a roughly 25-hectare primeval forest reserve near Lüttenhagen in the Feldberger Seenlandschaft Nature Park. The red beech stand dates back up to 350 years and is considered Germany's oldest naturally regenerating beech forest. The name "Heilige Hallen" derives from the cathedral-like impression created by the tall, freestanding beech trunks.
A tour lasts three to four hours over approximately six kilometers. Forestry staff and nature park rangers explain:
Old beech forests have been on the UNESCO World Heritage list "Ancient Beech Forests of Germany" since 2011; the Heilige Hallen are among the most prominent examples of their kind. This makes the tours some of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's few events with a direct World Heritage connection.
The organizer is the Lüttenhagen Forestry Office in cooperation with the Feldberger Seenlandschaft Nature Park. The contact point is the Haus des Gastes Feldberg (Strelitzer Straße 42, Tel. 039831 2700).
The 2026 season of the Heilige Hallen nature park tours runs from June to September. The Lüttenhagen Forestry Office and Feldberger Seenlandschaft Nature Park offer regular Thursday tours, each lasting 3–4 hours over approximately 6 kilometers.
The tours lead through Germany's oldest beech forest (350-year-old red beeches) and cover its history, ecology, and UNESCO World Heritage status. Regularly participating in a Heilige Hallen tour is one of the most memorable experiences in the Feldberger Seenlandschaft.
Price level: €5 for adults, €2.50 reduced. Registration via the Haus des Gastes Feldberg.
