Discover Priepert between two lakes

Out on the water by canoe or motorboat

The Priepert canoe station rents out kayaks and Canadian canoes. It also offers motorboats that do not require a licence. Visitors can also rent canoes from a local provider and explore the region on the water. For an outing, you can choose between paddling under your own steam in a kayak or Canadian canoe and taking a motorboat. Which option suits your holiday depends on whether you prefer paddling or using a motorboat.

Priepert has a rest area for waterway travellers. They can spend the night there at low cost in a tent they bring with them. This is a different type of accommodation from a holiday apartment or holiday home and may be a consideration when planning a trip by water. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Priepert, you can instead focus on accommodation in the village and decide whether water activities or, rather, hiking trails and culture should shape your stay.

Forest trails and stops along the Ofenweg

When hiking through the forests of Priepert, you pass a rock garden with erratic boulders from various ice ages. The different ice ages specifically refer to the erratic boulders on display there. The Ofenweg hiking trail offers another glimpse of the surrounding area: it begins in Priepert and leads to information boards at a former tar kiln and a former lime kiln. The boards are at the historic sites of the two kilns; both are described as former facilities.

You can plan to reach the Ofenweg by bus or car. From April to October, the trail can be reached by the Kleinseenbus, getting off at the Priepert stop. Parking is also available at the starting and finishing point. If you choose a holiday apartment or holiday home as your base, you can weigh up whether access to hiking opportunities or the chance to enjoy activities on the water matters more to you. The bus service period is a useful point of reference if you are travelling between April and October.

Church and local history museum

Priepert’s half-timbered church was built in 1719. Inside are a Baroque altar, a Baroque pulpit and a suspended baptismal angel. The church is also on a pilgrimage route. Duke Adolf Friedrich III of Mecklenburg-Strelitz used the church until his palace in Glienicke was completed. These historical connections and the church’s furnishings make it a topic in its own right for visitors interested in architecture, history or religious art.

The Priepert local history museum also focuses on the village’s history. It is housed in the former village school and displays historical exhibits. Items on display include everyday objects, books and clothing from earlier times; old agricultural implements from the last century are kept outside. The various objects offer insights into different aspects of life in the past, from household and everyday use to work in the fields.

Play and activity at the lakeside swimming area

Children can use various play structures at the lakeside swimming area. There is also a beach volleyball court and a chessboard with large pieces. The facilities offer a range of activities: children can use the play structures, while beach volleyball and chess provide further ways to enjoy activities together. Families who would like to consider such amenities alongside excursions when choosing a holiday destination can include Priepert in their search for a holiday apartment or holiday home.

The options described provide different points of reference when choosing accommodation: waterway travellers can take the tent camping at the rest area into account, while other visitors can put hiking trails, the church, the local history museum or the facilities at the lakeside swimming area at the heart of their trip planning. Other places you can explore when planning your trip include Wesenberg, Roggentin, Mirow and Wustrow.
