Krugsdorf: Kiessee, walks and village church

You can plan your trip to Krugsdorf around three different highlights: Kiessee, walking and hiking trails, and a detail of the village church. If you enjoy being by the water, you can use the lake as your point of reference; if you prefer to explore on foot, there is a short circuit near the castle and longer signposted trails in the surrounding area. The small organ adds a specific cultural theme to this nature and leisure perspective.

Kiessee: swimming area, diving and fishing

Kiessee in Krugsdorf is a bathing site registered with the EU; it was registered in 1991. The beach or shoreline section of the bathing site is 200 m long. Operational details may change seasonally. If swimming is a key part of your visit, check the latest details in advance.

Kiessee is also described as a popular diving spot and rated as an excellent fishing area. This means the same body of water offers two other, distinct leisure activities in addition to swimming. Local conditions can change, so bear this in mind if you are planning to dive or fish during a specific visit.

Walks and hiking trails

A short walking loop starts right at Krugsdorf Castle. The paths pass through the immediate surroundings and invite you to enjoy a leisurely stroll. Unlike the longer hiking trails in the area, this loop starts at the castle. As trail conditions can change, it is worth checking them shortly before your walk.

Two signposted hiking trails run around Krugsdorf, Krugsdorfer See and Großer Koblentzer See in the immediate vicinity of the destination. They are 6 and 9 km long, respectively, and pass through the western part of the Pasewalker Kirchenforst landscape protection area. With two different distances to choose from, you can plan your hike according to how far you would like to walk. Trail conditions and markings can change, so it is advisable to check for updates before setting out.

Landscape and village church

In Krugsdorf, bodies of water, forest, meadows and paths lie close together. The landscape is therefore not limited to Kiessee: the surrounding area and its paths are also local points of interest for a stay. A specific cultural detail is the small organ in Krugsdorf village church. It was built by the Hermann Eule organ-building company in Bautzen.

Vorpommern-Greifswald in a wider context

Looking at the broader destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald takes you beyond Krugsdorf. The three nature parks cover almost 40 percent of the district’s area. Regional cycling routes for exploring Vorpommern-Greifswald include the Stettiner Haff circular route and the Route of North German Romanticism. The Baltic Sea Cycle Route, part of EuroVelo Route EV10, also passes through the district. These cycle routes belong to the regional level; the two signposted hiking trails are associated with Krugsdorf and the two lakes named above.

Another cultural highlight in the wider destination: the Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald displays the Croy Tapestry from 1554, a unique cultural and historical document from the Reformation era. Alongside the local attractions in Krugsdorf, the district also offers its own nature, cycling and cultural highlights as a broader regional perspective.
