Kritzmow: Local Points of Interest and the Wider Rostock Travel Destination

When looking for a hotel in Kritzmow, first consider what role the town should play in your stay: a local base or part of a trip in the wider Rostock travel destination. In Kritzmow itself, a fitness trail at three playground locations, a war memorial listed as a monument, and the municipality’s traditional events provide concrete themes for planning. Federal Highway 103 adds a regional road connection to these local points of interest.

Federal Highway 103 as a point of reference

The two-lane Federal Highway 103 runs through the municipality of Kritzmow. It was completed in 2003 and was previously known as B 103n. As an important feeder road from the A20 motorway to the Hanseatic City of Rostock, it connects local road orientation with a regional link. If you are planning to travel by car, you can take the route through the municipality and its function as a feeder road into account when planning your journey.

Exercise and local history

The fitness trail for young and old was completed in the village of Kritzmow at three playground locations on Stichlingsweg, Am Weitenmoor and Finkenweg. The facility was completed and in use in November 2024. Its equipment includes training devices for arms, legs and back, as well as a bouldering wall for climbing. The trail therefore offers a concrete opportunity for exercise to consider when planning your trip.

The 1914/18 War Memorial at the corner of Am Pferdeteich and Meisenweg is listed as a monument; the list is dated 14 May 2024. Its name, 1914/18, and its exact location give the memorial a clear historical and local connection. If you are also interested in local history during your trip, you can consider this named site alongside the opportunities for exercise.

Events and the municipal area

Traditional events in the municipality of Kritzmow include the Christmas tree burning, the Easter bonfire and the late-autumn lantern procession. If you would like to plan your stay around one of these events, it is a good idea to check the relevant dates before booking.

The municipality also includes Groß Schwaß. There, the station’s reception building at Bahnhofstraße 1 is listed as a monument; the list is dated 14 May 2024. The fact that it is in Groß Schwaß matters for orientation: this station site is not in the village of Kritzmow, but in another village within the municipality.

In the wider Rostock travel destination

In the wider Rostock travel destination, planning extends beyond local themes. The Rostock region is surrounded by 62 kilometres of Baltic Sea coastline with a number of seaside resorts; the coastal hinterland includes the river valleys of the Warnow and Recknitz. The landscape of Sternberg Lakes Nature Park is shaped by deep breakthrough valleys along the Warnow, numerous lakes, picturesque hills and extensive forests. The nature park is particularly popular for hiking and cycling.

The nature and cultural attractions in the wider Rostock travel destination also offer different experiences. At Wildpark-MV, visitors can explore the park independently or join guided walks, including wolf, owl and evening walks. The Wolhynian Resettler Museum in Linstow offers guided tours for groups and individuals. Ethnographic objects, photographs and documents tell the story of the Volhynian Germans from the mid-19th century until their settlement in Mecklenburg after the Second World War. A guided walk and a themed museum tour therefore offer different experiences on a trip in the wider Rostock travel destination.
