Pasewalk: City History and Experiences on the Uecker
Accommodation in Pasewalk
If you are looking for a hotel in Pasewalk, your trip’s focus can be a helpful starting point: Would you like to explore city history and architecture, are you interested in technology, or would you like to include experiences on the water? Pasewalk offers points of interest for these different interests. The following places give you specific topics to help plan your stay.
City History and Railway Construction
The Lokschuppen Pasewalk Railway Experience Centre is housed in a semicircular engine shed that was put into service in 1896. The structure has 25 radial tracks and around 6,000 square metres of covered space. Its design, track layout and scale draw attention both to the railway and to the site itself.
Large sections of Pasewalk’s medieval town wall, with its towers, gates and weigh houses, have been preserved. Kiek in de Mark is a more than 20-metre-high tower of the former town fortifications and measures 20.2 metres. Its square base transitions into a cylindrical tower, topped by an octagonal brick spire above a crenellated crown. The wall and tower show two different scales of fortification: the preserved parts of a larger structure and the precise form of a single tower.
St. Nikolai is Pasewalk’s oldest town church and also the largest fieldstone church in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Today it is a cultural church that hosts numerous religious and secular events. Its historical significance and its current function as an event venue therefore go hand in hand. If you would like to attend an event, check the schedule in advance.
Museum, Canoeing and Cycle Route
At the Museum of the City of Pasewalk, anyone can try drawing and writing with a reed pen. In the museum tower, visitors can also try out the drawing style of the artist Paul Holz. These hands-on activities may require advance arrangements.
The WasserWanderRastPlatz in Pasewalk offers canoe hire, allowing nature lovers to explore the Uecker and its picturesque surroundings from the water. The hire service operates seasonally. The site also serves as a starting point for individual travellers and groups setting off on multi-day canoe tours on the Uecker; tour arrangements may change. If you are planning such a tour, check the arrangements in advance.
The WasserWanderRastPlatz is located directly on the Berlin–Usedom long-distance cycle route. This gives you a clear connection to the cycle route alongside the water-based activities at the site. The seasonal availability of canoe hire and the individual tour arrangements are separate details to bear in mind when planning.
More topics in the wider travel destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald
The wider travel destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald extends beyond the town. The three nature parks cover almost 40 percent of the Vorpommern-Greifswald district; this area figure may change as a result of administrative changes. The Ueckermünder Heide is also part of the region’s natural attractions and invites visitors to hike, cycle and ride.
Cultural attractions offer a different focus in the district: The Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald displays the Croy Tapestry from 1554, a unique cultural and historical artefact from the Reformation period. In Anklam, the Otto Lilienthal Museum is dedicated to aviation pioneer, mechanical engineer and humanist Otto Lilienthal in his hometown; it is a museum focused on a historical figure in technology. This makes it possible to distinguish Pasewalk’s city history from the other nature, art and technology topics in the wider travel destination.
