The church in Polzow brings together two points in time: it dates from the 16th century, and regular services are held here. If you would like to include a church service in your stay, check the date in advance. Polzow village church is also mentioned in connection with the avenue on the B 104 between Pasewalk and the Polish border.
Vorpommern-Greifswald: Landscape and Activities
Three nature parks cover almost 40 percent of the Vorpommern-Greifswald district. The UeckermĂĽnder Heide adds to this landscape with opportunities for hiking, cycling and horse riding. The wider destination thus focuses on both natural surroundings and active exploration.
Several routes are mapped out for cyclists: the Baltic Sea Cycle Route, part of the EuroVelo EV10 route, passes through the Vorpommern-Greifswald district. The Szczecin Lagoon Circular Route and the North German Romanticism Route are regional cycle routes for exploring the district.
Culture and History in the Wider Destination
Vorpommern-Greifswald also offers a range of attractions for culture enthusiasts. The Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald displays the Croy Tapestry of 1554, a unique cultural and historical testament from the Reformation era. The church in Polzow and the tapestry offer different ways to explore history: a 16th-century building here, a dated museum exhibit there.
In Anklam, the Otto Lilienthal Museum is dedicated to aviation pioneer, mechanical engineer and humanist Otto Lilienthal in his hometown. In PeenemĂĽnde, the Juliett U-461 is a museum in the harbour and can be explored on a tour. Visitors can also book guided tours through the listed historic site via the PeenemĂĽnde Historical Technical Museum. Check the latest information about access and booking before your visit.
More Regional Experiences
Ueckermünde Zoo combines animal watching with public feeding sessions: more than 1,120 native and exotic animals of 95 species live there; public feedings take place daily. Animal numbers and feeding times may change, so it is worth checking the latest information before your visit. School groups can visit the zoo’s ZOOSchule (zoo school).
At Ukranenland Torgelow, the boat trip uses the first Slavic boat to be reconstructed in Germany. Participants have to row themselves—a specific difference from visits focused primarily on exhibitions or guided tours. Another way to combine history and food is a culinary tour of Greifswald’s historic old town: it visits four Greifswald restaurateurs offering sweet and savoury treats.
Tailor Your Stay
When choosing a location, two considerations can be distinguished: the church offers a direct connection to Polzow, while the museums, nature and activities mentioned belong to the wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald. When looking for a holiday apartment, consider which of these is most important for your stay and make your choice based on the place you want to visit.
