Rollwitz: Cycling Route and Historic Traces
Accommodation in Rollwitz
If you are looking for accommodation in Rollwitz, you can plan your trip around two specific themes: the Berlin–Usedom Cycle Route and the town’s history, centred on the former manor estate, the church and the Bronze Age burial mound Töppelberg. The town is on the B 109 and is directly connected to the A 20 via Pasewalk Süd.
Road access and cycling route
The B 109 and the connection via Pasewalk Süd are the specific road links for getting here. The Berlin–Usedom Cycle Route passes through Rollwitz along its listed route. Before setting out, it is worth checking the current signs on site so you can plan your route according to the local signage.
In the wider surrounding region, the long-distance cycle route runs mostly on separate cycle paths, in places on paved farm and forest tracks, and on short sections of federal roads and through towns. The type of path therefore varies along the regional route. The fourth stage of the cycle route runs from Warnitz on Lake Oberuckersee to Peenemünde in Western Pomerania.
Manor estate, church and burial mound
The former manor estate and the church in Rollwitz are enclosed by a protected historic courtyard wall. The wall is an architectural feature that links the church and the manor estate. A bell used to hang in one of the wall’s gate towers—a historic detail of the complex. A gate tower is a tower built at a passage through a wall.
Töppelberg, also known as Tempelberg, is a Bronze Age burial mound. This makes the two historical focal points in Rollwitz clearly distinct: the architectural ensemble of the former manor estate and church, and the prehistoric burial mound. For your trip planning, this offers a way to compare local history with a monument from a much earlier period.
In the wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald
The wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald offers a broader setting for nature lovers: its three nature parks cover almost 40 percent of the district. The Ueckermünder Heide is ideal for hiking, cycling and horse riding. These activities offer different ways to spend time outdoors if you would like to do more than follow a cycling route.
Culture and excursions add further options. The Juliett U-461 is moored in the harbour at Peenemünde as a museum ship and can be explored on a tour; it is worth checking the current access arrangements before visiting. The Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald displays the Croy Tapestry, dating from 1554, a unique cultural and historical testament to the Reformation era. At Ukranenland Torgelow, visitors take a boat trip aboard the first Slavic boat to be reconstructed in Germany. Participants have to row themselves—a key point to bear in mind when choosing between a museum visit and an active outing.
