The municipality of Kramerhof lies between Prohner Wiek and the Strelasund in a flat landscape and covers 17.91 km². There are various options for your stay: a harbour and beach area in Parow, the “Around Stralsund” cycling tour, and the historic manor estate with its park and garden. This lets you choose your destination to suit your own plans—whether you mainly want to cycle, spend time by the water, or explore architecture and gardens.
Beach, the Strelasund and Harbour in Parow
Parower Haken on the Strelasund is the easternmost point of the municipality of Kramerhof. The district of Parow also has a harbour and beach area with an adjacent holiday home development. On the western shore of the Strelasund, Wassersportvereinigung 1982 Parow e.V. operates a sheltered harbour with 60 berths. As the number of berths may change when harbour infrastructure is altered, check the latest information if you are specifically planning to use one.
The waterside location contrasts with the flat landscape elsewhere in the municipality. When planning your stay, you can make the beach area a focus in its own right and distinguish it in your mind from the cycling and manor park options in Parow. This helps you consider the activities separately rather than treating them as a single destination, so you can prioritise the different interests of your trip.
A Specific Cycling Option
The “Around Stralsund” cycling tour passes through Kramerhof and continues to Parow. It is rated very easy and is listed as approximately 40.2 km long, taking around 2 hours and 35 minutes. You can take a short break at Parow Manor House. The stated duration provides a general guide; allow extra time if you plan to stop. As route details may change, check the current route before setting off.
The municipality’s localities have a well-developed network of roads and cycle paths. When planning a day out by bike, you can treat this general infrastructure and the specifically described tour as two different points of reference: the network serves the municipality’s localities, while “Around Stralsund” refers to a particular route with a stated distance and duration.
Manor House, Park and Garden
The distinctive Parow Manor House has two storeys. According to an inscription, it was built in 1860 in the English country house style. The listed manor house ensemble includes an extensive manor park and a large garden, inviting you to enjoy a relaxing stroll. This makes it possible to combine a visit to the historic building with time outdoors.
The “Gärtnerei am Gutshaus” project in Parow includes a greenhouse as well as a kitchen garden and show garden. There is a playground for children to explore and play in, directly in the manor park by the nursery. If the playground is important to your visit, check its current availability in advance. Garden conditions may vary depending on the season.
Cafés and Dining in Parow
The “Gärtnerei am Gutshaus” project also includes a nursery and a café with an outdoor terrace. The café serves regional organic coffee, speciality coffees, light snacks, drinks and a changing selection of seasonal cakes. The seasonal rotation is especially relevant to the cakes; individual offerings may change.
The restaurant and café of minimanufaktur Parow is located on a historic manor estate. It is right on a well-developed cycle route and offers views of the Strelasund. This venue combines dining with a specific connection to the surrounding landscape. The Gärtnerei am Gutshaus and minimanufaktur Parow are separate places to visit, each with its own features as described.
Choose Accommodation to Suit Your Plans
If you are looking for a hotel in Kramerhof, first decide which experiences matter most during your stay: the beach and harbour area, the cycling tour, or the manor house, park and garden in Parow. This lets you tailor your search to your actual plans instead of assuming the same combination is right for every stay.
