Murchin offers specific reasons to visit in the districts of Pinnow and Libnow: a village church, a restored manor house with a concert hall, and a distillery that produces fruit brandies in small batches. Each offers a different focus. When planning, it is important to take into account the church’s limited visiting hours and the dates of individual concerts.

Pinnow and Libnow: visits and production

Visits to Pinnow Village Church are only possible by prior arrangement. Confirm the arrangements again before your visit so this requirement is factored into your plans. In Libnow, the Freudenfeuer distillery produces fruit brandies in small batches. Those interested in regional production will find a direct connection to the process here—a different focus from a visit to the church in Pinnow.

Libnow Manor House: restoration and concerts

Following extensive renovation and restoration to its 1860 condition, Libnow Manor House has regained its former splendour. The year refers to the condition to which the house was restored, giving the renovation a specific historical context. Music is also part of the house’s character: the concert hall hosts the “Manor House Concerts” featuring renowned musicians from Germany and abroad. If you would like to plan your stay around a concert, check the individual dates separately.

Vorpommern-Greifswald as a wider travel destination

The wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald offers another landscape to explore. The three nature parks cover almost 40 percent of the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald. This figure refers to the district; protected-area statistics may be adjusted administratively. The Ueckermünde Heath invites visitors to go hiking, cycling and horse riding. Nature and outdoor activities thus complement Murchin’s specific cultural and production-related attractions, without being features of the districts of Pinnow or Libnow.

Several regional route names lead into the district for cycling tours: the Baltic Sea Cycle Route, part of EuroVelo route EV10, leads to Vorpommern-Greifswald. The Stettiner Haff Circular Route and the Route of North German Romanticism are also cycling routes for exploring the district. Routes, surfaces and signage may change; check the latest information for the relevant route before planning.

Cultural attractions across the wider destination include those in Peenemünde, Greifswald and Anklam. The Juliett U-461 is moored in Peenemünde harbour as a museum and can be explored on a tour. Visitors can also book guided tours of the historic landscape through the Historical-Technical Museum Peenemünde. Access and booking arrangements may change, so check them in advance. In Greifswald, the Pomeranian State Museum displays the Croy Tapestry from 1554, a unique cultural and historical artefact from the Reformation era. The Otto Lilienthal Museum in Anklam is a technical museum dedicated to the aviation pioneer, mechanical engineer and humanist Otto Lilienthal, whose hometown was Anklam.

Culinary discoveries are also part of the wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald: a guided tour of Greifswald’s historic old town visits four local restaurateurs offering sweet and savoury treats. The production focus in Libnow and a guided culinary experience in Greifswald thus offer different ways to explore food and drink.
