Krugsdorf: Gravel Pit Lake, Trails and Village Church
Accommodation in Krugsdorf
Bodies of water, forests, meadows and trails are all close together in Krugsdorf. This gives the town a distinctive natural character and offers several ways to shape your stay: time by the water, a peaceful walk or a hike along a marked route of a specified length. Culture is also part of the townscape: the village church houses a small organ built by the Hermann Eule organ-building company in Bautzen.
Gravel Pit Lake: Swimming, Diving and Fishing
The gravel pit lake in Krugsdorf is a bathing site registered with the EU; it was registered in 1991. The beach or shoreline section of the bathing site is 200 metres long. The lake is also a popular diving spot, and it is rated as an excellent fishing area. This means different interests come together at the same lake: swimming, diving and fishing. For specific swimming plans, it is advisable to check the current conditions, as operational details may change seasonally.
Exploring Krugsdorf on Foot
There are different kinds of routes for getting around on foot. A short walking loop starts right at Krugsdorf Castle. Its paths lead through the immediate surroundings and invite you to enjoy a peaceful stroll. Two marked hiking trails also run around Krugsdorf, Krugsdorf Lake and Great Koblentz Lake. At 6 and 9 kilometres respectively, they pass through the western part of the Pasewalker Kirchenforst landscape protection area. The two hiking routes differ by three kilometres—a useful comparison when choosing the distance you want to walk. Route conditions and markings may change, so it is best to check both before setting out.
A Cultural Highlight in the Village Church
The small organ in Krugsdorf village church was built by the Hermann Eule organ-building company in Bautzen. This instrument complements the nature and trails with a connection to organ building and church culture. If you would like to include local cultural heritage in your travel plans alongside scenery and outdoor activities, this offers a specific point of interest. In the Vorpommern-Greifswald district, the Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald displays the Croy Tapestry, dating from 1554.
A Wider View of Vorpommern-Greifswald
