Jagdschloss Granitz
A popular stop along
the Kleinbahn
route, roughly midway between Putbus
and Göhren, is the “hunting castle.”
Actually, the train
stop at the Jagdschloss is a considerable hike downhill from the
castle itself. You
can opt to walk up
the cobblestone path or take a horse-drawn cart. They also have the
kind of miniature mock trains you see pretty much everywhere there are
tourists.
We opted for the hike.
 Inside
the castle
are to be found some interesting artwork and artifacts, including
chairs made from antlers. The
castle’s main draw, however, is the steep spiraling climb up the inside
of the central tower. You can enjoy the
sweeping panoramic views from its turret roof. As the stairway is quite
narrow, the number of people
allowed to go up at a time is limited. Visitors ascend in
single file, with each subsequent group waiting to go up until after
the previous one has descended. The
stairway is constructed
of see-through metal grating; those who have a problem with
heights might prefer to casually stroll around the castle and
view the artwork in its rooms.
