Neverin District: Landscapes, Trails and Culture

In Neverin District, travel experiences range from the Tollense lowlands and trails along Lake Tollense to historic buildings and cultural venues. Woggersin combines a distinctive landscape setting with architectural history and a present-day event venue. Staven and Beseritz add further manor houses, while forest trails in Wulkenzin lead to the lakeshore. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Neverin District, these different themes can help you decide what to focus on during your trip.

Landscapes between lowlands and lakes

Woggersin lies directly on the western edge of the Tollense Valley, about 6 km northwest of Neubrandenburg. To the east of the village, the landscape encompasses the Tollense lowlands, including several old, water-filled peat pits; fields lie to the north, south and west. This gives the area a distinct landscape structure that sets it apart from the historic buildings. Lake Neverin and the two Hausseen lakes also shape the landscape around the villages in Neverin District.

In Woggersin, hiking trails lead to and from Neubrandenburg. From Wulkenzin, various forest trails lead to the western shore of Lake Tollense, about 2 km away. Buchort, Gatsch Eck and Alt-Meiershof lie on the lake and are part of the municipality of Wulkenzin. The details thus distinguish between the trails to the shore and the municipal affiliation of the three named places.

Architectural history and cultural venues

The Neverin water tower was built in 1919 by landowner Jasper von Behr-Negendank. In Woggersin, the cultural granary tells a different story of architecture: the building dates from around 1850 and was initially used as a granary and stable. Today, this historic building is an event venue and a cultural hub for the village. It hosts concerts, markets and a wide range of cultural events. The cultural granary’s farm shop offers a selection of regional products.

The church in Woggersin also preserves a feature that can be dated: its altar dates from when the church was built, around 1788, and belongs to the late Late Baroque period. In Staven, the listed manor house dates from the end of the 18th century; it was frequently remodelled until the mid-19th century. These buildings illustrate the range of architectural history in the district, from a former granary to church furnishings and a repeatedly altered manor house.

In Beseritz, the former manor house and the park behind it provide a setting for various cultural events throughout the year. They add another, distinct kind of venue to Woggersin’s cultural sites. If you would like to include culture in your trip, you can add these places to your itinerary as destinations in their own right, rather than planning your stay solely around landscapes or trails.

Trails and trip-planning priorities

There is also a described cycling route: a cycle path runs from Neverin via Rossow towards Brunn and on to the motorway. Together with the hiking trails to and from Neubrandenburg and the forest trails from Wulkenzin to the western shore of Lake Tollense, this offers a range of trail options. The details specify particular routes or destinations; they do not combine the individual trails into a single circular route.

When looking for a holiday apartment in Neverin District, your interests can help guide your search: if you want to prioritise architectural history and events, the cultural venues are important aspects of your planning. If landscapes and trails are your main focus, the descriptions of Woggersin, Wulkenzin and the cycling route offer different points of reference.

Neubrandenburg as a separate urban destination

As a broader travel destination, Neubrandenburg lies on Lake Tollense in the Mecklenburg Lake District. The GRÜNE RUNDE (Green Circuit) is a 40-kilometre hiking trail that connects the city’s recreational areas and passes through landscapes and nature close to the city. Another cultural highlight is the almost completely preserved city wall, about 2.3 kilometres long, with four city gates, Wiek houses and the Mönchenturm tower. These urban attractions complement the picture of the district, but are separate destinations in Neubrandenburg.
