Poseritz: Dairy, Church and Mixed Forests

Poseritz offers several specific starting points for your trip: regional dairy products, the history of St. Mary's Church and activities in the surrounding landscape. If you are weighing up culinary interests, culture and outdoor activities, these themes can draw your attention to different sides of the town. The options differ considerably: one focuses on products and how they are made, another on a historic church building, and another on ways to experience the landscape.

Regional products at the production site

Poseritz is home to the Rügener Inselfrische Naturprodukt GmbH dairy. It traditionally processes milk from a neighboring farmer. This connection between a local production site, the origin of the milk and its processing gives the topic of regional food a concrete link to the town.

You can sample and buy the dairy’s products at the Rügener Inselfrische farm shop and café. This means that both getting to know the products and shopping are among the options available locally. For planning your trip, this offers a different focus than a visit centered on architectural history or the landscape: if food and how it is made interest you, you can also explore Poseritz through its dairy.

St. Mary's Church: architectural history and altarpiece

St. Mary's Church offers a distinct historical focus. Construction began after 1300; the choir and tower were added around 1450. The wooden altarpiece dates from 1703. The church therefore presents several distinct points in time: the start of construction, the later additions of the choir and tower, and an altarpiece from a later period still.

If you are interested in churches and their furnishings, you can consider these details as different aspects of Poseritz’s church rather than reducing them to a single date. The Birgitta Vorpommern pilgrimage route also leads to Poseritz Church, via a detour that is five kilometers long in total. The church is thus both a destination with its own architectural and furnishing history and a point of interest along this pilgrimage route.

Mixed forests, hiking and horseback riding

Poseritz is surrounded by mixed forests that offer good hiking opportunities. If you want to spend time outdoors during your stay, this provides a different way to explore the area than through the dairy or the church. You can also explore the landscape on horseback: the Poseritz Riding and Driving Club (Reit- und Fahrverein Poseritz e.V.) offers this option to visitors. Hiking in the surrounding mixed forests and exploring the landscape on horseback are therefore two different ways to enjoy active days.

When choosing the focus of your trip, you can weigh up these interests: regional products and their processing, church history linked to the pilgrimage route, or outdoor activity in the landscape. These themes offer different perspectives on Poseritz without requiring you to limit your stay to just one of them.
