Discover Torgelow-Holländerei

Explore Torgelow-Holländerei along two long-distance routes: the Berlin–Usedom long-distance cycle route passes through the district, while a stage of the long-distance hiking trail from Feldberg to the Szczecin Lagoon crosses the Uecker here. Local historic buildings include a cemetery chapel and a war memorial. Cycling, hiking and local history offer different focuses for planning your trip.

By bike or on foot

The Berlin–Usedom long-distance cycle route passes through Holländerei on a paved cycle path alongside a road. After crossing the Uecker, you reach Eggesin. This gives your ride a clear sequence of waypoints; check the current route markings before setting off.

The final stage of the long-distance hiking trail from Feldberg to the Szczecin Lagoon heads north through mixed and pine forests. Near Torgelow-Holländerei, it crosses the Uecker and continues to Eggesin. The two routes have different characteristics: the cycle route section is marked by its roadside path and paved surface, while the hiking stage is defined by its direction and types of forest.

Historic buildings in Holländerei

Holländerei has a cemetery chapel, one of the district’s three historic buildings. The cemetery also contains a war memorial to those who fell in 1914/18; this memorial is also one of the three historic buildings. The chapel and memorial offer different historical perspectives: one is a religious building, the other a place of remembrance for the fallen. These two specific local landmarks add a cultural history theme to your route planning.

Torgelow: forests and urban history

Torgelow itself also offers points of interest. The town lies in the Ueckermünde Heath and is surrounded by dense mixed forest. The Torgelow circular hiking trail also runs through the town; it is marked with a green horizontal stripe on a white background. Christ Church was consecrated on 3 April 1884 and is considered the town’s visual landmark.

The Castrum Turglowe open-air museum illustrates High Medieval ways of life around the medieval castle ruins in the centre of Torgelow. The Castrum includes a multimedia exhibition that opened in 2013 in the Villa von Torgelow at Friedrichstraße 1. It is dedicated to Otto IV, Margrave of Brandenburg, and features dioramas depicting the life of a nobleman in the 13th century. Check current access arrangements before visiting.

Events and activities in Torgelow

The Castrum Turglowe’s annual large-scale events include events at Pentecost and the castle festival in August. The programme features, among other things, horseback jousting tournaments, performances on the tournament grounds, craft demonstrations and the sale of clay jugs and wickerwork. If you would like to plan your trip around a festival, check the specific event dates.

In Ukranenland, you can take a boat trip on the first Slavic boat to be reconstructed in Germany. You have to row yourself; check availability in advance. Separate from this is the waterway rest area in Torgelow: a small boat trailer is available there to transport boats to the floating pontoon at the end of the old Uecker channel. If you plan to use this option, confirm availability before your trip.

Choose the right base

When looking for a holiday apartment, you can start by considering what you would like to focus on during your holiday. The long-distance routes through Holländerei are useful landmarks for cycling or hiking tours, while the chapel and war memorial offer another perspective on the district. If you would also like to include urban history, the museum, events or boating experiences in Torgelow, include the town itself in your plans. This lets you choose your holiday base according to the things that matter most to you.
