Reinshagen: Village History and Cycling Route

Reinshagen brings together tangible village history and a described cycling route: a listed farmstead, two manor houses and the “Zur Deutschen Eiche” inn tell different stories about the village. The “Satower Land” cycling tour also passes through Reinshagen. When choosing a holiday apartment, it may therefore be helpful to consider whether you mainly want to explore architectural history or include a cycling tour in your travel plans.

Village History in Farmsteads and Manor Houses

The Rostock district list of listed buildings, dated 14 May 2024, includes the listed farmstead at Dorfstraße 15. It comprises a farmhouse, a barn, a cattle shed and a pigsty. These four different types of building make it clear that the farmstead consists of more than just a residential building.

Two manor houses also offer clues to Reinshagen’s architectural history. The manor house on the first estate is probably a half-timbered building from the 18th century. The manor house on the second estate was built in the 18th century. The dating of the first house is explicitly tentative; for the second, the 18th century is given as its period of construction.

The “Zur Deutschen Eiche” inn & guesthouse, with its restaurant and guest accommodation, is part of village life. It is considered a popular meeting place in the region and offers meals as well as places to stay overnight. The restaurant has been a fixture of village life since 1926—a long span of time that adds a social dimension to the local history.

Reinshagen on the “Satower Land” Cycling Tour

The “Satower Land” cycling tour approaches Reinshagen from the direction of Satow, then continues through the village along Dorfstraße towards Retschow. The route is therefore not only connected with Reinshagen but also follows a specific direction through the village. If you like to plan your days around cycling, you can take this route into account as a focus of your trip. Check route conditions before setting out.

The Wider Destination of Satow: Lake and Nature Trail

In the wider destination of Satow, Satower See is located in the village of Satow and covers 6.8 hectares. Paddle boats and stand-up paddleboards are permitted on the lake. If you plan to go out on the water, check the local rules beforehand.

The play and nature trail runs around Satower See. It is suitable for walks, hikes and outings with the whole family, and has rest areas. Stops and information boards along the trail provide information about local wildlife and plant life, as well as the region’s history. This means the route combines exercise with themes from nature and regional history.

A well-maintained bathing area with a beach is located on the north shore of Satower See. It adds a place for a beach visit to the activities available by the water.

Church and Cultural History in Satow

Satow’s local history also offers notable points of interest. The 13th-century ruin of the monastery church, regarded as a local landmark, stands in the middle of a park and shapes the village centre. The old cemetery around the church ruins has a park-like character and provides a setting for a variety of cultural activities.

When choosing a location, you can weigh up the different highlights: Reinshagen combines architectural history with a specific stretch of the cycling tour; in the wider destination of Satow, the lake and local history provide other options.
