Discover Warlow

Discover Warlow through its village history and the opportunities it offers cyclists. This Angerdorf is characterised by broad streets and mighty lime trees. Several cycle routes and tours also pass through the village. If you want to explore Mecklenburg by bike, you’ll find both a section of the Raseneisenstein-Dörfer-Tour and the Großer Raseneisenstein-Abstecher here.

Richard Giese and memorial sites in Warlow

Richard Giese, who later became a teacher and local poet, was born in Warlow on 2 February 1890. The house where he lived in the village is still standing today. His birthplace is at Lindenallee 46, where there is also a memorial stone. A memorial stone was erected on Richard Giese’s property on 27 March 1994. This local history gives the address a special connection to Giese’s life. The Dorfatelier Jante is also located at Lindenallee 46.

Another sign of local club life is the historic brick bread oven, with its bakehouse and draw well. They were built on the initiative of the Warlower Plattdeutschclub Richard Giese e.V. The site serves as a gathering place for club celebrations. Warlow’s village history thus centres on both memorial sites dedicated to Richard Giese and a gathering place initiated by a local club.

Warlow’s cemetery has a chapel. It is another standalone structure in the village. Those interested in Warlow’s various architectural and historical features can consider the birthplace, memorial stone, studio, bakehouse and chapel as distinct aspects of the village; this does not imply that they are linked by a shared route or that they are open to visitors.

Lindenallee and the village landscape

Lindenallee is a cobbled street with a summer path and is considered a landmark of the Angerdorf. Visitors admire it. Together with the broad streets and mighty lime trees, it shapes the village landscape. The combination of cobblestones and a summer path makes Lindenallee a distinctive part of the streetscape. For travellers interested in historic village layouts, it offers a tangible way to get to know Warlow through its streets and local history.

Cycle routes and tours through Warlow

The Raseneisenstein-Dörfer-Tour passes through Warlow and is marked throughout with the “Blaue TOUR” sign. It runs mainly through flat, level terrain. The routes are generally easy to cycle; only a few sections follow public roads. The Großer Raseneisenstein-Abstecher is another tour that passes through Warlow. It is suitable as a section for cyclists who want to explore Mecklenburg.

There is also a cycle path along Kreisstraße 34: it runs from the edge of Warlow to Bundesstraße 5. The Rögnitz, which flows in the vicinity of Warlow, is a separate feature. It can be reached via paved roads that are also popular with cyclists. These details describe different options for active days: a signposted tour over mostly level terrain, a cycle path along Kreisstraße 34, and paved roads in the Rögnitz area. They do not refer to a single route.

Warlow thus combines a clearly defined village history with cycling options whose route characteristics are described in part. If you mainly plan to get around by bike during your trip, you can take into account the details about the Raseneisenstein-Dörfer-Tour and the cycle path along Kreisstraße 34. If you are more interested in local history and the village landscape, the focus is on Richard Giese, Lindenallee and the brick oven with its bakehouse.
