Discover Hohenbollentin
Accommodation in Hohenbollentin
Hohenbollentin is located about 15 km south of Demmin. The Augraben flows through the municipality; federal highway B 194 runs west of it. This gives you two distinct points of reference for orientation: the waterway within the municipality and the road along its western side. If you are considering Hohenbollentin as a place to stay, you can match these local features to your own interests – for example, history or cycling tours.
Early local history and the church
Hohenbollentin was first mentioned in a document in 1226. The reference appears in a deed of donation by Prince Wartislaw III. The church in Hohenbollentin was first mentioned in 1325. It collapsed on May 22, 1756, and lay in ruins for the next 30 years. The history of the village and its church is marked by clearly distinct milestones: an early document, the first mention of the church and a significant event in the 18th century. If you include historical connections in your travel plans, you can consider these milestones as a focus alongside the cycling routes.
Cycling routes of different lengths
Two described routes of different lengths provide a point of reference for a cycling tour: SĂĽderholz to Hohenbollentin is about 51 km, and Hohenbollentin to ZĂĽssow is 62 km. The second route is therefore around 11 km longer. DorfstraĂźe, Langenfill and Hiddenhausener StraĂźe are named as important roads on the route from SĂĽderholz to Hohenbollentin. Check current information about trail conditions and access before setting out. This lets you compare the route lengths while also checking the conditions for your specific ride.
Nature experiences in the Mecklenburg Lake District
The Mecklenburg Lake District offers a regional setting for exploring other nature-related interests. Müritz National Park is part of the Mecklenburg Lake District and is characterized by forests, moors, lakes and wide meadows. The Müritz National Park hiking trail explores the park’s landscape in nine stages: it passes lakes, winds through ancient forests, goes by inland dunes and reaches the source of the Havel. Certified nature and landscape guides offer informative tours there, including guided walks in the UNESCO World Heritage beech forest of Serrahn and tours from the water. Stage hikes and guided tours offer different ways to explore the national park’s landscape.
The Damerower Werder bison reserve is located on a peninsula in Lake Kölpin and in the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heath Nature Park. Visitors can observe bison there. The reserve also has a forest discovery trail with climbing features, an anthill house, an exhibition with touch-and-see panels and a dendrophone. This offers distinct ways to explore the area, through wildlife observation and the various stops along the nature trail. The contrast is clear when choosing between them: Müritz National Park’s nature experiences are shaped by hiking stages, landscape features and guided tours; the bison reserve also offers wildlife observation and activities along the forest discovery trail.
The Mecklenburg Lake District also offers a distinct point of reference for water-based exploration: from Neustrelitz city harbor, visitors can explore MĂĽritz National Park and the Strelitz Small Lakes District via the Upper Havel Waterway. This provides further, clearly distinct interests to consider when planning a stay, alongside local history and cycling routes.
