Brohmer Berge, Terminal moraine in Mecklenburg Lake District, Germany.
The Brohmer Berge is a chain of hills formed from glacial deposits in the Mecklenburg Lake District, reaching elevations up to 153 meters and covering a substantial area in northeastern Germany. Forests, lakes, and streams run throughout the region, shaping its character.
These hills formed roughly 13,700 years ago during the last Ice Age when glaciers deposited vast quantities of material across the region. Slavic peoples later settled the area and shaped its early development.
The name comes from a Slavic word meaning gate, reflecting early settlements in the area that shaped the region's identity. The hills remain central to how local communities relate to their landscape today.
The area offers multiple hiking paths through forests and rolling terrain that link nearby towns like Friedland, Jatznick, and Strasburg. Sturdy footwear and reasonable fitness help, as trails cross varied elevation.
The terrain features numerous kettle holes and marshy depressions that show how glacial action shaped the surface in ways most people overlook. Lake Galenbeck sits at the northern base and adds a water element to the landscape.
