Severin: Cycling, Galloway Cattle and Farm History

Cycling and agriculture offer different starting points for a trip to Severin. A cycling tour around Parchim passes through Severin. Rural history is a second focus, complemented by tangible impressions of pastureland and farm products. This means you can take both active pursuits and the town’s agricultural history into account when planning your trip.

Cycling around Parchim

The cycling tour around Parchim passes through Severin and continues via Alt Damerow, Kiekindemark and Sonnenberg. The full route covers approximately 50 kilometres; a shortcut is 37.5 kilometres long. This gives you two specific distances to choose from when deciding how far you want to cycle. This distinction may be important when planning your holiday: if you are looking for a longer cycling itinerary, you can consider the full loop; if you prefer a shorter distance, the shortcut is an alternative. Check the condition of the route and signage locally before setting off.

Countryside in the area around Groß Godems

Cycling, hiking and rural recreation are considered suitable activities in the area around Groß Godems. Mixed forests and pine forests shape this landscape, along with the Douglas fir forest on Sonnenberg.

If you plan your trip around the landscape and your leisure interests, this mix offers more than one way to enjoy an active stay. Route and access conditions may change; check them locally.

A horse-drawn wagon ride with views of the pasture

A past farm festival in Severin included horse-drawn wagon rides; from the carriage, guests could see the Galloway herd grazing in its pasture beside the forest. This gives a concrete sense of the experience: the ride combined movement with views of the animals and the neighbouring pastureland. For travellers interested in rural traditions, this historical scene offers a vivid highlight alongside cycling.

Farm products and agriculture

The Zwillingshof Rühe in Severin was associated with Galloway cattle farming. Guests at a farm festival there in 2009 were able to sample the farm’s products. This brings the culinary side of agriculture into view alongside the animals: sampling farm products was part of the festival. If you are interested in the history of local food culture, this tasting offers a concrete insight into Severin’s agricultural side.

Accommodation to suit your travel plans
