Historical forester's houses, inviting hunting lodges, sacred halls, paradise gardens, curious monkeys, tame deer, cozy bears, mighty bison, or climbing in the treetops of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern – who could disagree with Brother Bernhard of Clauvaux, who wrote to an Englishman nearly 900 years ago: "You will find more in the forest than in books; trees and stones will teach you what you will not hear from any teacher"? This travel guide takes you on a journey of more than 6,000 kilometers through the green lungs of around a hundred cities and villages in the land behind the Baltic Sea coast.
