Rollwitz between the cycling route and manor estate history

Getting here and planning your cycling trip

Rollwitz is on the B 109 and is directly connected to the A 20 via Pasewalk Süd. These road links provide practical guidance for planning your journey. The village is also a named point for cyclists: the Berlin–Usedom long-distance cycle route passes through Rollwitz along its listed route. Check the current signs on site before setting off.

Further afield in the region, the long-distance cycle route runs mostly along separate cycle paths. In places, it follows paved field and forest tracks, and for short stretches it also uses federal roads and passes through villages. This general route description applies to the wider regional route; road surfaces may change as a result of maintenance. So check the current route conditions before your ride, too.

Manor estate, church and burial mound

The former manor estate and the church in Rollwitz are enclosed by a listed manor wall. A gate tower in the wall is also part of the village’s history: it once housed the bell. The wall and gate tower give the manor complex an architectural unity, while the bell mentioned in historical accounts offers an additional glimpse into the past.

The Töppelberg, also called Tempelberg, takes you back to a different era: it is a Bronze Age burial mound. The two names help you recognise the site, while its classification as a burial mound makes clear that it represents a different historical theme from the manor estate. Those interested in local history will find various points of interest in Rollwitz, from a listed historic structure to a Bronze Age burial mound.

More themes in the wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald

The wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald offers a broader view of the district’s landscape: its three nature parks cover almost 40 percent of the district. This land-area statistic may change as a result of administrative changes. The Ueckermünde Heath is ideal for hiking, cycling and horse riding. So, alongside the cycling route in Rollwitz, the district offers other activities to choose from if you want to plan your trip around outdoor pursuits and nature.

Those interested in culture will find other specific points of interest across the wider destination. The Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald displays the Croy Tapestry from 1554, a cultural and historical artefact from the Reformation era. The Otto Lilienthal Museum in Anklam is dedicated to the aviation pioneer, mechanical engineer and humanist Otto Lilienthal. The two museums offer different perspectives: one focuses on a specific work of art from the Reformation era, the other on the life and story of an individual. In Rollwitz itself, the manor wall, the former bell in the gate tower and the Bronze Age burial mound tell the story of the village.

These differences can help you choose the focus you want when selecting accommodation: Rollwitz offers a connection to the long-distance cycle route and the village’s historic features; the wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald adds other nature and culture themes to your trip planning. You can therefore look for a holiday apartment in Rollwitz that suits your own idea of a cycling holiday and local history.
