Rollwitz brings together road connections, a cycling route, and traces of history in one place: the Berlin–Usedom long-distance cycle route passes through Rollwitz on its listed route, while the former manor estate, with its church and farmyard wall, and the Bronze Age Töppelberg hill each offer a different cultural and historical focus. When planning a trip to Rollwitz, it helps to consider three questions separately: How would you like to get there, are you interested in the long-distance cycle route, and which historic sites would you like to focus on?
Getting here and cycling
Rollwitz is on the B 109 and has a direct connection to the A 20 via Pasewalk SĂĽd. The main road through the village and the motorway connection via Pasewalk SĂĽd give you specific points of reference for your journey.
Rollwitz also has a clear connection to cycling: the Berlin–Usedom long-distance cycle route passes through the village on its listed route. In the wider region, the route runs mainly along separate cycle paths, sometimes on paved field and forest tracks, and only for short stretches on federal roads and through villages. The different types of paths shape the character of the route; signposting and path conditions can change as a result of maintenance. So check the current local signposting before setting off.
Manor estate and the Bronze Age
The former manor estate and the church in Rollwitz are enclosed by a listed farmyard wall. The bell was once housed in a gate tower in this wall. Together, the manor estate, church, and enclosing wall provide a tangible architectural reference point for the history of the village.
Another historical landmark is Töppelberg, also called Tempelberg: it is a Bronze Age burial mound. The two themes are easy to distinguish: the Bronze Age burial mound on the one hand, and the ensemble of the former manor estate, church, and wall on the other. If you are interested in history, Rollwitz brings together these different forms of historical heritage.
Vorpommern-Greifswald: further regional themes
The wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald offers further themes from the district. The three nature parks in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district cover almost 40 percent of its area. The Ueckermünder Heide invites you to hike, cycle, and ride. This offers a broader perspective on the district’s nature and activity options, without conflating them with the features specific to Rollwitz.
The wider Vorpommern-Greifswald area also has cultural and historical destinations in their own right. The Otto Lilienthal Museum in Anklam is a museum dedicated to the life of aviation pioneer, mechanical engineer, and humanist Otto Lilienthal in his hometown. In Greifswald, the Pomeranian State Museum displays the 1554 Croy Tapestry, a unique cultural and historical record from the Reformation era. These themes offer different perspectives: Anklam focuses on a person and the history of technology, while Greifswald features a specific work of art from the Reformation era.
