Discover Dargelin

Megalithic tombs and historic farmsteads, the listed manor house and a landscape still shaped by agriculture offer points of interest for a stay in Dargelin. Karting is another leisure activity that may factor into your travel plans. If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Dargelin, you can choose your destination based on whether local history, a hike through the region or karting best matches your interests.

Megalithic tombs and a long local history

The megalithic tombs lie in the south of Dargelin's municipal area and between Alt Negentin and Neu Negentin. The region's early inhabitants built the tombs from large stone blocks; they settled there more than 4,000 years ago. You can explore the tombs on a hike through the region. Historic farmsteads also bear witness to the area's long history. The very early traces of settlement and the historic sites thus represent different periods in Dargelin's history.

The manor house and its historical context

The listed Dargelin Manor House (Pos. 586 OVP) is located in the village and was built in the mid-19th century. It therefore belongs to a much more recent period than the megalithic tombs. Dargelin's history of ownership also dates back a long way: in 1284, the town was granted to the city of Greifswald by Bogislaw IV, Duke of Pomerania, and remained in its possession until 1945. This connection to Greifswald adds another dimension to the area's archaeological and architectural heritage. The timeline thus stretches from settlement more than 4,000 years ago, through the medieval ownership relationship, to the construction of the manor house in the 19th century.

Landscape and leisure

Dargelin Kart Track offers karting as a leisure activity for all ages. Unlike the historic sites, the focus here is on active recreation. Together with the opportunity to explore the megalithic tombs on a hike through the region, this offers a clear choice when planning your day: karting and hiking are different ways to spend your leisure time. Agriculture continues to shape the landscape of the municipality of Dargelin. So, alongside individual attractions, the landscape and character of the municipality are also factors that can help you get a sense of the place.

Location and regional context

Dargelin is well connected to the L35 and is close to Greifswald. This means you can get a sense of the area through its historic and leisure activities as well as its location in the region. When choosing a hotel, you can therefore consider whether Dargelin's local character suits your travel interests.
