Forst- und Köhlerhof Wiethagen, Open-air forestry and charcoal museum in Rostock, Germany.

The Forst- und Köhlerhof Wiethagen features preserved buildings that demonstrate traditional forest management practices and charcoal production techniques through exhibits and displays.

Established in 1837, this technical monument received official heritage status in 1984, preserving the only functional historical tar distillation oven in the region.

The museum's tar distillation methods earned recognition in 2014 when they were included in the Federal Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

From April to September, visitors can explore the 1.4-kilometer forest trail Tuesday through Friday from 09:00 to 16:00 and weekends from 10:00 to 17:00.
