A very special forest
The coastal protection forest was planted from 1870 onward along the road to Tarnewitz, following a decree by the Grand Duke of Schwerin. Today it still extends to a depth of about 200 m – almost entirely undeveloped – for 4 km through Boltenhagen, acting as a natural green barrier that shields the row of villas from today’s Ostseeallee. The forest consists mainly of black pines mixed with various deciduous trees – some of the trees are actually 150 years old.
From the beach, you see nothing but forest – no buildings. Nothing rises above the treetops: a very special coastal view that is almost unique for a Baltic Sea resort.
The salty sea air mingles with the resinous scent of the conifers, and the shade of the trees keeps the grounds of Villa Hubertus pleasantly cool even in midsummer. The forest paths, which also include fitness trails and exercise equipment, are ideal for children, cycling or walking the dog. Even in winter, with the prevailing westerly winds, the coastal protection forest shelters the Hubertus beach villa and its beautiful wooded grounds.
For guests of Haus Hubertus, a private access road leads from Ostseeallee along a deliberately unpaved track through the coastal protection forest to the middle promenade and the Hubertus beach villa.
