Discover Neddemin: Tollense Valley, Park and History

Local development and the park

During the modernisation of the L 35, pavements, street lighting and bus stops in Neddemin were renewed. The work therefore covered several elements of the road and its facilities. This is a distinct aspect of the area, alongside its location in the Tollense Valley.

In 2009, Neddemin Park was enhanced with a playground featuring climbing equipment, slides and swings for children. For families who would like to consider activities for children when choosing a destination, this is a practical point to keep in mind. The play equipment offers different ways to get active. If you plan to make the playground a fixed part of your itinerary, check the current situation before your visit.

Historical traces in Neddemin

Several historic buildings and objects lend the local landscape a historical character. The Barnewitz family tomb from Hohenmin, dating from the mid-19th century, is located in the churchyard. It is designed in the form of a Doric temple. This temple form gives the family tomb a distinctive architectural appearance and sets it apart from a simple grave.

A medieval granite baptismal font is associated with Neddemin; it was later placed in the manor garden. Neddemin Manor House is also linked to a historical attribution: August von Oertzen is considered its probable builder, although this attribution is uncertain; Max Lemcke is another possibility. A walk around the area can bring together different themes in local history: sacred art, funerary architecture and the history of the manor house. The baptismal font and the family tomb represent different forms of historical remembrance.

Nature experiences in the Mecklenburg Lake District

The wider travel destination of the Mecklenburg Lake District offers a different perspective on nature and landscape. Müritz National Park is part of this region and is characterised by forests, bogs, lakes and broad meadows. Its hiking trail explores the landscape types and distinctive features over nine stages. The route follows lakeshores, passes through ancient forests and by inland dunes, and leads to the source of the Havel. This hiking trail, with its varied landscape impressions, offers a different experience from choosing a location where the Tollense Valley and Neddemin’s history are the main focus.

For further perspectives on Müritz National Park, certified nature and landscape guides offer informative tours. These include guided visits to the UNESCO World Heritage beech forest in Serrahn and tours from the water. These guided activities complement exploring the landscape along the hiking trail with themed tours.

The Damerower Werder bison reserve offers a different nature experience. It is located on a peninsula in Lake Kölpin, in the Mecklenburg Lake District and the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heath Nature Park. Visitors can observe animals there. The reserve also has a forest discovery trail with climbing opportunities, an ant house, an exhibition with touch-and-see panels, and a dendrophone. The focus differs: the national park hiking trail highlights the landscapes along a nine-stage route, while the reserve focuses on animal watching and the forest discovery trail. This lets you choose between a hike through different landscape types and a nature destination with designated activity stations in the Mecklenburg Lake District.
