Discover Vorpommern-Greifswald
Accommodation in Vorpommern-Greifswald
For a stay in Vorpommern-Greifswald, nature, cycling and culture offer different ways to shape your trip. The three nature parks cover almost 40% of the district’s area. There are also regional cycling routes, museums and special visitor experiences—a range of options that lets you tailor your trip to your own interests.
Nature and cycling routes
If you want to explore the landscape actively, the UeckermĂĽnder Heide offers opportunities for hiking, cycling and horse riding. These three activities are all available there; you can decide which one will shape your stay according to your preferences. The extensive area covered by the three nature parks also gives nature a prominent place when choosing a theme for your trip, without requiring any one excursion to be the main focus.
Several cycling routes can also help you plan your tours: the Stettiner Haff Circular Route and the Route of North German Romanticism are among the regional routes for exploring the district. The Baltic Sea Cycle Route, part of the EuroVelo EV10 route, leads into the district. If you are planning a cycling trip, you can use these route names as a starting point for further planning.
Culture and special experiences
PeenemĂĽnde offers different ways to explore its maritime history. The Juliett U-461, located in PeenemĂĽnde harbour, is a museum that you can explore on a tour. Visitors can also book guided tours through the historic monument landscape via the Historical-Technical Museum PeenemĂĽnde. If you are interested in technology and contemporary history, you can include these options as specific focuses when planning your visit.
In Greifswald, the Pomeranian State Museum displays the Croy Tapestry from 1554. This work is a unique cultural and historical artefact from the Reformation era, giving a museum visit a specific historical focus. Another way to get to know the city is a culinary tour through its historic old town, visiting four Greifswald restaurateurs who offer sweet and savoury treats. This gives you a choice between focusing on cultural history and regional food experiences during your visit.
In Anklam, the Otto Lilienthal Museum is devoted to a single figure. It is a technical biographical museum dedicated to aviation pioneer, mechanical engineer and humanist Otto Lilienthal, who was born in the city. If you are interested in aviation history or the different roles Lilienthal played in life, the museum offers a clearly defined thematic focus.
At Ukranenland Torgelow, visitors can take a boat trip in the first Slavic boat to be reconstructed in Germany. Participants have to row themselves. This experience is therefore not just a boat trip; it also involves actively taking part in rowing—a specific difference from the region’s museum visits and guided tours.
