What you can expect

The starting point is the Barlach sculpture at the Güstrow Municipal Museum. From here you follow in the footsteps of the artist – through gently rolling meadows and fields, along the small Nebel River, past quiet moors, sparkling ponds, and venerable brick churches.

Just a stone's throw away lies the heart of his work: the Sumpfsee meadows around the Ernst Barlach Museum Güstrow with the studio house – the place where Barlach lived, worked, and gathered new ideas for his plays and sculptures on his walks.

The tour combines art and landscape in a special way: You will discover the wide meadows and canals, visit the impressive Gertrudenkapelle, and finally reach Güstrow Cathedral. There, a moving highlight awaits you: Barlach's famous “The Floating One” – a moment that lingers.

Along the way, your tour guide will provide exciting insights and stories to create vivid connections between art and nature. And so that you don't run out of energy along the way, there is a delicious packed lunch to keep you going. And a cup of coffee and a piece of cake at the “Grenzburg” are also on the agenda.

A tour like a look through Barlach's eyes – inspiring, relaxing, and full of special impressions.
