Discover Hohenselchow-Groß Pinnow

Hohenselchow-Groß Pinnow appeals to travellers who want to combine landscapes with history and culture. A protected area, listed buildings and theatre traditions give the trip a variety of focal points. Consider which of these aspects interests you most: nature, historic buildings or an evening of culture.

Ridge and protected landscape

Hohenselchow lies on a ridge at the edge of Lower Oder Valley National Park. The municipality of Hohenselchow-Groß Pinnow is also home to the “Trockenrasen Groß Pinnow” FFH area, which covers around eight hectares. This offers two ways to explore the nature theme: through Hohenselchow’s location and through a specific protected area within the municipality. This provides a clear point of reference when planning your trip, without requiring you to focus on just one aspect of the landscape.

Village church, listed buildings and theatre

The village church in Groß Pinnow was rebuilt after the Thirty Years’ War and is considered a noteworthy attraction. Its reconstruction gives the place a tangible connection to history. In Hohenselchow, the church, the manor house with its outbuilding and the remains of the park are all listed buildings. Those interested in architectural history will find a variety of features to explore: churches, the manor house, the outbuilding and the remains of the park.

The theatre space in Hohenselchow also has its own story: an old warehouse was turned into a small summer theatre with a raised stage and nostalgic cinema seats. These details shape the character of the space, while the Senfkorn theatre group adds another cultural highlight with its recurring programme. Each year, it stages a summer comedy with around ten performances. If you would like to plan your trip around a performance, check the specific dates before travelling.

The petting zoo in Groß Pinnow is another attraction for children. This gives the municipality something else to offer alongside its landscape and cultural history, with an appeal for younger visitors. When planning their trip, families can decide whether to focus more on architectural history, theatre or activities for children—without having to set a fixed daily schedule.

The Uckermark as a regional setting

The Uckermark offers additional nature experiences at a regional level. It has more than 500 lakes, as well as thousands of small ponds, kettle holes, moors, streams and rivers. Uckermärkische Seen Nature Park includes, among other features, terminal moraine ridges, rolling ground moraines, drumlins, ramparts, inland dunes, ribbon lakes and flow-through moors. This variety describes the broader landscape of the Uckermark and adds a wider perspective to Hohenselchow-Groß Pinnow.

Those who enjoy exploring on foot or on the water can choose from a variety of routes in the Uckermark: Uckermärkische Seen Nature Park has more than 150 kilometres of water routes and over 600 kilometres of signposted hiking trails. The Uckermark as a whole has 1,200 kilometres of designated hiking trails. Another benchmark is the Märkischer Landweg, a 217-kilometre route divided into ten stages that runs across the Uckermark and through three National Natural Landscapes. Water routes, hiking trails and a multi-day stage route each have a distinct character.

The Uckermark also offers further options for those interested in culture. The Gramzow Railway Museum displays historic railway vehicles from different eras, as well as exhibitions on track construction, railway workshops and railway operations. On operating days, visitors can ride on historic vehicles with the museum railway and drive rail trolleys themselves. These regional attractions offer a different focus from the local architectural and theatre history.

Find accommodation to suit your travel interests

When looking for accommodation, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your trip: would you like to explore nature and trails in the Uckermark, or are you particularly interested in village churches, listed buildings and theatre in Hohenselchow-Groß Pinnow? This will give your search a clear direction without assuming a particular stay or daily schedule. If you plan to attend a summer comedy, take the specific performance dates into account.
