Discover Gramzow: Railways, culture and views

Gramzow combines an engaging railway theme with cultural history and a viewpoint that opens up views beyond the town across the Uckermark. This gives you a clear set of options for planning your trip: the railway museum offers hands-on activities and technology, the Speicher features exhibitions and views, and the monastery ruins and town church are historic buildings. There is also a nature excursion nearby. If you are looking for a hotel in Gramzow, you can first decide which of these highlights you want to shape your stay.

Railway museum: drive for yourself and discover history

At the Gramzow Railway Museum, children and adults can try out various trains and drive them themselves. The permanent exhibition area of the Gramzow Museum of Narrow-Gauge and Private Railways covers more than 7,000 square metres. This makes the site a place where hands-on activities go hand in hand with an extensive focus on exhibitions.

The Gramzow Railway Museum in the Uckermark showcases historic railway vehicles from different periods. Exhibitions cover track construction, workshop operations, and operational and transport services; technical installations can be seen outdoors and in buildings. On operating days, the museum railway offers rides on historic railway vehicles and the chance to drive rail bicycles yourself. Check the operating days in advance if you are planning a ride or a rail-bike trip. The activities offer different highlights: trying things out is a hands-on way to engage, while the vehicles, installations and themed exhibitions explore different aspects of railway operations.

Speicher: cultural activities and views

SPEICHER GRAMZOW offers something different. It features exhibitions, events, themed tours and a viewing floor. The platform on the ninth floor offers far-reaching views beyond Gramzow across the Uckermark. In the Uckermark, the heritage-listed Speicher Gramzow is now an arts venue for photography, language, literature and concerts. Unlike the railway museum, the focus here is on culture and views rather than vehicles and railway technology. As the programme varies, check before your trip which events or tours are scheduled for your dates.

Monastery ruins and town church

The monastery in Gramzow was founded around 1200. The ruins of the monastery church in Gramzow are considered a landmark of the oldest settlement in the Uckermark. St. Mary’s Town Church in Gramzow is one of the largest fieldstone churches in the Uckermark. St. Mary’s Church hosts events such as concerts during the Uckermärkische Musikwochen or the Gramzower Sommermusiken; check the event dates before your trip. You can therefore consider historic connections to the town and possible concert dates as different reasons to plan your trip.

Hiking and cycling in the surrounding area

The Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve near Gramzow invites visitors to go hiking and cycling. This adds a distinct nature highlight to the activities in town, which you can include as an excursion in your travel plans.
