The location is slightly out of the way and therefore wonderfully quiet. Perfect for observing animals over water and meadows.

The history of the lovingly designed museum village with its wonderful shotwood houses began in 1990. The Erlichthof settlement was officially opened in 1997 as part of the nature and fishing festival. The Erlichthof with its historic heath houses has now grown into a small village with a farm museum, tourist information, restaurants, traditional workshops, small shops and the wolf museum. There are always exhibitions, guided tours, various holiday offers and of course you can also stay overnight in the holiday accommodation. Definitely worth seeing facility.

The Erlichthof has a lot of interesting information about the Sorbian settlement area. A detailed visit provides a wealth of knowledge about the life and crafts of the Sorbs.
