Amt Uecker-Randow-Tal: Discover Nature and Culture

In Amt Uecker-Randow-Tal, experiences of nature and landscape in woodland and countryside meet church art, manor house history, and active exploration. The appealing landscape is considered to have tourism potential; individual places each have their own distinctive character. These interests give your travel plans a clear direction.

Woodland, Water, and Trails

Woodland and countryside shape the nature and landscape experiences in the district. In autumn, guided hikes are offered at Lake Großer Koblentzer See to observe resting geese and cranes. This combines exercise with observing nature, with the birds and the autumn season taking center stage. If you plan to join such a hike, check the seasonal dates before your trip.

Cycling also offers a distinct way to plan your trip: the WindradTour begins in Nieden and follows the Berlin–Usedom long-distance cycle route. If you would like to include this route in your stay, you can check the signage and route conditions in advance, as they may change. The hike and cycle tour offer different highlights—one focuses on guided observation of geese and cranes, the other on a route that starts in Nieden.

Churches and Manor House History

In Groß Luckow, the Gothic church features wall paintings. Its altar is protected as a listed monument. There is also a renovated manor house with a park. The church and manor house offer different points of interest for visitors interested in sacred architecture and historic estates. The wall paintings and protected altar give the church a distinctive art-historical character; the renovated manor house and park add another architectural theme to the history of the village.

In Jatznick, the recreational value is shaped by its location in the Brohmer Berge terminal moraine area. Places to relax and sights include the forest festival grounds and the seed-drying kiln, as well as the Max Schmeling memorial in Klein Luckow. Another prominent landmark is the “Storchenturm” (Stork Tower): the former cement kiln is a symbol of the municipality. In Jatznick, landscape, places of remembrance, and an unusual reminder of former industrial use therefore offer distinct themes to explore.

Pasewalk in the Wider Travel Destination

The wider travel destination of Pasewalk offers additional cultural and architectural attractions. The Lokschuppen Pasewalk railway experience center is housed in a semicircular engine shed that opened in 1896, with 25 radial tracks and around 6,000 square meters of covered space. Kiek in de Mark is a tower of Pasewalk’s former town fortifications and stands 20.2 meters high. Its square base rises into a cylindrical tower, topped above the crenellations by an octagonal brick spire.

St. Nikolai is Pasewalk’s oldest town church and the largest fieldstone church in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Today it is a cultural church hosting numerous religious and secular events. Much of the medieval town wall has also been preserved, including towers, gates, and weighing houses. Those interested in local history will find several different architectural points of interest here.

At the Pasewalk City Museum, visitors can try drawing and writing with a reed pen and experience the drawing style of artist Paul Holz for themselves in the museum tower. Prior arrangements may be required to participate, so it is best to check in advance. The WasserWanderRastPlatz offers canoe rentals for exploring the Uecker and its picturesque surroundings from the water. It serves individual travelers and groups as a starting point for multi-day canoe trips on the Uecker and is located directly on the Berlin–Usedom long-distance cycle route. Canoe rentals are seasonal, so check availability and tour arrangements before planning your trip.

Plan Your Stay Around Your Interests

When looking for accommodation, it helps to first decide which experiences matter most: would you like nature observation to shape your stay, are you particularly interested in churches and historic buildings, or would you like to include a cycling route in your plans? Your answer can help determine which places and themes to explore further. For a family trip with varied interests, this also makes it easier to compare everyone’s preferences without having to make every day the same.
