Kramerhof: Strelasund, cycling route and manor house ensemble

The municipality of Kramerhof lies between Prohner Wiek and the Strelasund in a flat landscape and covers 17.91 km². In Parow, a district of the municipality, the area’s connection to the water and harbour meets a historic manor house ensemble, gardens and dining options. The “Around Stralsund” cycling tour also passes through Kramerhof to Parow. This offers different ways to shape your holiday: active time on a bike, a walk in the park, or a break at the nursery and café.

Water and the harbour in the municipality

Parower Haken on the Strelasund is the easternmost point of the municipality of Kramerhof. Parow has a harbour and beach area with an adjoining holiday home development. On the west bank of the Strelasund, the Wassersportvereinigung 1982 Parow e.V. operates a sheltered harbour with 60 berths; this number may change if the harbour infrastructure changes. Water is therefore a defining feature of the local landscape. If you would like to focus on the waterside and harbour landscape when looking for a holiday apartment, you can take this into account when choosing a location.

The cycling route as an active option

The “Around Stralsund” cycling tour is rated very easy, passes through Kramerhof to Parow, and is about 40.2 kilometres long. Its stated duration is approximately two hours and 35 minutes. A short break is possible at Parow Manor House. This makes the tour a longer block of activity, with the possible stop providing a brief break along the way. As route details may change, it is advisable to check the current route and time estimate before setting off.

Manor house, park and playground in Parow

According to an inscription, the distinctive, two-storey Parow Manor House 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. A playground for children to explore and play is located right in the manor park, by the nursery at the manor house. If you plan to visit the playground, it is best to check its current availability in advance. Garden conditions may vary seasonally.

Nursery and café with seasonal offerings

The “Gärtnerei am Gutshaus” project in Parow includes a nursery, a greenhouse, and a kitchen and display garden. The project also includes a café with an outdoor terrace. Its offerings include regional organic coffee, coffee specialities, light snacks and drinks, as well as a changing selection of seasonal cakes. The cake selection changes with the seasons, and individual offerings may also change. A visit to the garden and café can therefore be a destination in its own right, alongside a walk or bike ride.

The restaurant and café of minimanufaktur Parow are also located in a historic manor estate. They are right on a well-maintained cycling trail, with views of the Strelasund. Parow therefore offers different dining options: a break at the café at the nursery by the manor house, or a stop at the minimanufaktur restaurant and café. You can combine either option with visits to the gardens and manor house sites, without having to follow a set itinerary.

Choose your accommodation based on your holiday priorities

When looking for a holiday apartment in Kramerhof, the kind of day you have in mind can help you decide: would you like the “Around Stralsund” cycling route to be the active focus of your stay, are you especially interested in the harbour and beach area, or would you like to make time for the manor park, garden and café? These questions can help you choose a location based on the experiences that matter to you. Kramerhof combines a flat landscape between Prohner Wiek and the Strelasund with specific places to visit in Parow—from the harbour area to the manor house ensemble.
