Gramzow: Railways, Monastery Ruins and Views of the Uckermark
Accommodation in Gramzow
In Gramzow, there’s more to do than just look around: On the grounds of the railway museum, children and adults can try out various trains and drive them themselves. There are also exhibitions, historic buildings and views from high above across the Uckermark. This makes it easy to plan your stay around different interests – from hands-on experiences at the museum to culture and excursions into nature.
Try out the trains for yourself
The Gramzow Railway Museum offers families a specific activity they can enjoy together: Children and adults can drive the various trains themselves. This makes the experience different from visiting an exhibition, where looking at the displays is the main focus. If you’re travelling with children, you can plan this part of your stay as an opportunity to take part; the option is explicitly open to adults, too. The Gramzow Museum of Narrow-Gauge and Private Railways also has a permanent exhibition area of more than 7,000 square metres. So in Gramzow, you’ll find both an opportunity to try things out for yourself and an extensive area exploring narrow-gauge and private railways.
Exhibitions and views at SPEICHER GRAMZOW
SPEICHER GRAMZOW offers exhibitions, events and themed guided tours. There is also an observation level: The viewing platform on the ninth floor offers sweeping views beyond Gramzow and across the Uckermark. When planning your day, you can therefore take different interests into account – perhaps a themed tour or exhibition, along with the view from above. The ninth floor is a particular highlight for anyone who would like to see Gramzow and the Uckermark from an elevated vantage point.
Monastery history and a fieldstone church
The town’s history is also brought to life through its buildings. The monastery in Gramzow was founded around 1200. A ruin of the monastery church remains and is considered a landmark of the oldest town in the Uckermark. Another striking building is St. Mary’s Town Church, one of the largest fieldstone churches in the Uckermark. Those interested in historic architecture will find different points of interest, from the monastery ruins to the fieldstone church. Concerts at St. Mary’s add to this cultural offering: Events held there include concerts as part of the Uckermärkische Musikwochen and Gramzower Sommermusiken festivals.
Explore the town or head out into nature
The Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve, near Gramzow, invites visitors to go hiking and cycling. When planning your holiday, you can weigh up Gramzow’s attractions against excursions into the surrounding countryside. A holiday apartment in Gramzow is one option to consider if you’d like to make the town’s railway museum and historic buildings the focus of your stay. If hiking and cycling trips are especially important to you, include the biosphere reserve in your considerations when choosing where to stay. This way, you can choose your destination based on the experiences you want to make the focus of your trip.
