The Lehrpfad der unholdigen Personen ("Trail of Villainous Characters") is a approximately 1.3 km long sculpture trail in the forest of the Klein Strömkendorf Manor in the municipality of Am Salzhaff on the Baltic Sea, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The trail features six life-size statues of "villains", including George W. Bush, Nikita Khrushchev, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Erich Honecker, Vladimir Lenin, and Donald Trump. The idea for the trail came from Marita Gronau, the owner of the manor, and her late partner, Thomas Petsch, who passed away in 2017. The statues are located partly on the manor's property and partly in the state forest. Gronau refused to have statues of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, and a Polish foundry declined to produce a statue of Vladimir Putin due to concerns over Putin's actions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine|.
