Poseritz – Mixed Forests, Church and Farm Café

Poseritz combines nature experiences with cultural history and an insight into the production of dairy products. Mixed forests shape the surrounding area and offer opportunities for hiking. There is also horse riding, St. Mary’s Church and a farm shop with a café at the Rügener Inselfrische production site. When choosing where to stay, you can therefore consider whether you would prefer to focus on exploring the countryside, visiting the church or discovering regional products.

Hike or explore the countryside on horseback

Poseritz is surrounded by mixed forests that offer good hiking opportunities. If you enjoy getting around on foot, this gives you a specific reason to include walks and hikes in your holiday. The forests give nature a distinctive place in the character of the town, without implying any particular route or distance.

The Poseritz Riding and Driving Club (Reit- und Fahrverein Poseritz e.V.) offers a different way to explore the countryside: it enables holidaymakers to go on horseback rides. This gives you different options for how to spend your day—getting active on foot in the mixed-forest surroundings or exploring the countryside on horseback. If you are travelling with others, you can consider when planning your holiday which of these activities would be of particular interest to your group.

St. Mary’s Church and the pilgrimage route

The history of the construction of St. Mary’s Church dates back to the period after 1300. Construction began after 1300; the choir and tower were added around 1450. These milestones give the church a rich history. Another specific detail is the wooden altar retable, which dates from 1703. If you are interested in church architecture and historic furnishings, these offer two different aspects to focus on.

The Birgitta Vorpommern pilgrimage route also leads to Poseritz Church: it takes a five-kilometre detour in total to reach it.

Dairy products at the production site

Rügener Inselfrische’s Naturprodukt GmbH dairy is located in Poseritz. It traditionally processes milk from a neighbouring farmer. There is also a farm shop and a café at the production site. You can try and buy the dairy’s products there. This offers an opportunity to learn about a local business and discover its products.

These different interests may influence your choice of holiday: Would you like to focus mainly on the mixed forests and hiking opportunities, are you interested in the riding club, or would you like to set aside time for the church, pilgrimage route and farm shop? A holiday apartment in Poseritz is a good search option if you want to make the town and its offerings the focus of your stay. Deciding which of these themes matters to you can help you plan a trip that suits your preferences.
