  We (a married couple in our mid-50s and two medium-sized dogs) unfortunately only spent one night at this very special site, but we could have stayed there for weeks. It’s the perfect “lost place.” You can tell by looking at the old paper mill that it’s been more or less empty for years, and yet there are still many little nooks with old furniture and new works of art. And all of this is spread across many different buildings, most of which are accessible. It’s a huge adventure playground for kids, but adults can “play” here, too! We were greeted by the absolutely adorable Thilo, a big Bernese Mountain Dog, and his tiny friend Lüttjen—and, of course, Günter was there as well and gave us a warm welcome. The restrooms, of course, reminded me—as someone from the East—of my childhood, but everything was clean and well-maintained. We had actually just planned to spend the night there, but we ended up exploring the grounds and even got to cuddle Salt and Pepper, two miniature pigs. As soon as we travel to the Baltic Sea or the Mecklenburg Lake District again, we’ll definitely stop here once more. But you could easily spend a whole week here and probably still wouldn’t have seen everything. By the way, there’s also water and boats, but we didn’t end up getting around to that… Thank you so much, and continued success with this life’s work!

  It was very interesting to be there, especially because of the Victoria, which no longer exists. Sunny regards, Thomas

  I can only agree with the other reviews: it’s a truly special place. Unfortunately, we only had time for one night’s stay, but we found it very interesting to get a brief glimpse into the history of the paper mill. The amenities and comfort were perfect. We had a very peaceful night. Thank you very much, and all the best for the project! Dorothee & Frank

  We had a wonderful stay with Günter during our stopover. It was interesting to explore the old paper mill. We'd love to come back.

  A fascinating place, wonderful people. I stayed there for three nights with my dog, and it certainly won’t be the last time. I was lucky enough to meet Günter in person. On the last night, we were completely alone—which, in this kind of “lost place,” is both spooky and amazing. We had everything we needed. I also met nothing but friendly, interesting people in the area. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful, historic place with others.
