Amt Güstrow-Land between forests, water and local history

Forests, water and paths

Those looking to balance hiking, swimming and cultural impressions during their trip will find various options in Amt Güstrow-Land. Mühl Rosin is characterised by a wooded, hilly landscape that is ideal for hiking. In Reimershagen, Lake Reimershagen invites visitors to swim in summer. This brings outdoor activities in nature together with a seasonal experience by the water, allowing you to set different priorities for each day.

The E6 European long-distance path in Reimershagen

For hikers, the E6 European long-distance path crosses the municipal area of Reimershagen. There is a rest area along the E6 European long-distance path in Reimershagen. If you would like to use the E6 European long-distance path through Reimershagen as a long-distance hiking trail, the rest area there is one specific point you can take into account when planning your route. The trail combines the hiking perspective with a stay in the Reimershagen countryside, without requiring you to limit your days to a single activity.

Churches and local history

Kirch Rosin and Kirch Kogel provide distinctive historical highlights. The church in Kirch Rosin is considered a sight of interest and dates from the 13th century. The church in Kirch Kogel is an early Gothic fieldstone building from the 15th century. Lüssow is home to a fieldstone and brick church dating from 1257. The three churches therefore differ clearly in their construction and historical periods, offering several opportunities to explore local history.

Villages, castles and a historic bridge

Other sights include the Old Forge in Groß Tessin, the circular village of Reimershagen and the castle in Karow. The Stone Dance in the Koitendorf fir forests is another attraction. In Lüssow, a listed drawbridge dating from 1895 stands at the point where the Hohen Sprenzer Mühlbach flows into the Nebelkanal. The combination of village structures, buildings and waterways makes local history visible in a variety of forms: The circular village stands alongside the forge, the castle and the churches as a destination in its own right.

Cycle path, canal and pilgrimage route

Near Groß Schwiesow, a cycle path runs directly alongside the Bützow-Güstrow Canal; two listed bridges provide connections to it. This creates a distinct way for cyclists to experience the countryside, while the canal also plays a role along another route. The “Baltic-Central German Way” pilgrimage route coming from Lüssow passes over a railway crossing and shortly afterwards crosses the Bützow-Güstrow Canal on a lifting bridge. Anyone wishing to connect nature trails, architectural heritage and religiously influenced routes will find various starting points here for planning their own trip.
