This cycle route is a tangible travel connection when choosing accommodation in Lonvitz. Before booking, you can consider whether you want to focus your days on cycling or combine the tour with sightseeing and further excursions.

Megalithic tombs with distinctive details

The “Fliederbusch” megalithic tomb near Lonvitz, also known as “Fleederbarg,” is particularly impressive. The tomb is approximately 30 m long and has a trapezoidal burial mound. Cup marks can be seen on the capstones and on the narrow end of the burial mound. Characteristic pottery finds suggest that secondary Slavic burials took place here. The megalithic tomb is located at the road junction between Putbus and Vilmnitz, at the turnoff to Zirkow.

Another megalithic tomb in Lonvitz is located on the western side of the railway line, in a wooded area directly beside the embankment. Its imposing capstone has survived, while the second capstone is missing. Visible differences of this kind make each site an individual discovery rather than merely grouping them together under the general term “megalithic tombs.”

Another megalithic tomb, the “Blocksberg,” is located in the surrounding area of Lonvitz, north of Posewald on the road from Lonvitz to Zirkow. The different names, forms, and details described give you several concrete reasons to engage with history and the traces of past burials. You can decide for yourself which of these destinations suits your day of travel.

Which accommodation suits your travel plans?

A holiday apartment in Lonvitz is a particularly interesting option if you want to view the village not merely as a place to stay overnight, but as a starting point for a thematically focused trip. Cyclists can follow the Heilige Stätten themed route and its yellow trail markings. Those interested in archaeology and history can include the “Fliederbusch,” “Fleederbarg,” and “Blocksberg” megalithic tombs in their personal itinerary. The German Avenue Route, which runs through Lonvitz, is also relevant for anyone interested in longer road routes and stages.

As you continue planning, consider which places you actually want to visit and how you would like to combine the cycle route, road route, and historical discoveries. Lonvitz offers several clearly defined themes from which you can put together your own day of holiday activities.
