Discover Kletzin: the Peene, village churches and trails

In Kletzin, the Peene at Pensin, a waterside rest stop and several village landmarks each offer a different experience.

The Peene, rest stop and bathing area at Pensin

Pensin, a district of Kletzin, lies directly on the Peene. There is a canoe landing stage at the waterside rest stop. The site also has two guest moorings, toilets, electricity and drinking water. Before your trip, check the current condition of the facilities and whether the moorings are available.

The Peene at Pensin is also listed as a bathing area. Bathing conditions and water quality can change, so check both before swimming. This lets you plan time by the water as a separate focus, without treating the rest stop and bathing area as one and the same.

Churches and dry-stone fieldstone walls

The church in Kletzin and its dry-stone fieldstone wall are both listed as historic monuments. In the district of Pensin, a church complex with a mausoleum, cemetery, dry-stone fieldstone wall and gate pillars is protected as a historic monument. The old village church in Pensin also has a crypt. In Ückeritz, the chapel and fieldstone wall are also listed as historic monuments.

Kletzin therefore brings together a variety of architectural features: individual churches and a chapel, as well as stretches of wall and a complex with a cemetery and mausoleum. The church and crypt in Pensin are listed as open from April to November; check before visiting whether they can currently be viewed. These buildings can offer a different focus for your trip from the water-related attractions around Pensin.

A hiking trail section between Pensin and Zeitlow

An approximately 1.3 km section of the hiking trail between Pensin and Zeitlow was completed in 2017. Its stated length gives you a concrete reference point if you would like to include a walk in your travel plans. This offers a different way to plan your trip from spending a day mainly focused on the water or village landmarks.

When choosing accommodation, it helps to first decide what you would like to do each day: someone interested in the Peene and the rest stop will plan differently from someone who mainly wants to explore churches, the crypt or fieldstone walls. This focus gives your search for accommodation in Kletzin a practical direction without making assumptions about the facilities or location of any particular property.

More nature and cultural experiences in the Mecklenburg Lake District

The Mecklenburg Lake District offers its own regional perspective on nature and culture. Müritz National Park is part of this region and is characterised by forests, bogs, lakes and broad meadows. The Müritz National Park Trail explores the park’s landscapes and distinctive features over nine stages: it passes lakes, winds through ancient forests, follows inland dunes and leads to the source of the Havel.

Certified nature and landscape guides offer informative tours through Müritz National Park. These include guided visits to the UNESCO World Heritage beech forest at Serrahn and tours from the water. For travellers who enjoy exploring nature with a guide, this is another way to get to know the landscape.

A different experience awaits at the Damerower Werder bison reserve. It lies on a peninsula in Lake Kölpinsee, within the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heath Nature Park, where visitors can observe bison. The reserve also has a forest discovery trail with climbing activities, an anthill house, an exhibition with tactile and visual displays, and a dendrophone. Alongside hiking trails, wildlife watching and hands-on discoveries in the forest are distinct travel interests in the Mecklenburg Lake District.
