Discover Nieden

Those choosing Nieden for a stay can focus on two different themes: the village church, visible from afar, and cycling. The church shapes the townscape; the WindradTour passes through Nieden and places the village within a longer route.

Historic features in the village church

Nieden village church has a magnificent altarpiece dating from 1618 and a pulpit from 1710. The church also houses the Grünberg organ from 1871, which received a new case design during the redesign. The furnishings therefore bring together several dated items that differ in type and age. Alongside these historic details, the color scheme also shapes the interior: blue, white, red and green are complemented by a touch of gold. The dates provide a specific point of reference for distinguishing the altarpiece, pulpit and organ; the colors, by contrast, describe the space as a whole. The village church thus offers both individual historic furnishings and a strikingly designed interior as points of interest for anyone interested in sacred art.

Cycling and the route

Cyclists also have a clear connection to the village. The WindradTour is a circular cycling route of around 50 kilometers through the north of the Uckermark and passes through Nieden. From Nieden, the WindradTour follows the Berlin–Usedom long-distance cycle route. Along the route, Nieden lies between Damerow and Nechlin. These details provide different points of reference: the approximate length describes the circular route, while the named places show where Nieden lies along it. This makes it possible to understand the WindradTour both as a circular route through the north of the Uckermark and through its sequence of places: Nieden, Damerow and Nechlin.

In the wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald

The wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald offers further nature and cycling themes. The three nature parks in Vorpommern-Greifswald district cover almost 40 percent of the district’s area. The Ueckermünde Heath invites visitors to hike, cycle and ride. Several regional cycling routes also provide access to the district: the Baltic Sea Cycle Route, part of the EuroVelo EV10 route, enters the district. The Stettiner Haff Circular Route and the Route of North German Romanticism are also among the routes for exploring Vorpommern-Greifswald. Compared with the WindradTour and its stated length, this overview offers a broader regional perspective on the landscape and cycle routes.

For culture enthusiasts, the wider destination offers everything from technological to art history. The Juliett U-461 is on display as a museum in Peenemünde harbor; visitors can explore the submarine on a tour. Visitors can book guided tours through the historic landscape via the Peenemünde Historical Technical Museum. As visiting and booking arrangements may change, it is advisable to check the current conditions in advance. In Greifswald, the Pomeranian State Museum displays the Croy Tapestry from 1554, a unique cultural and historical artifact from the Reformation era. The Otto Lilienthal Museum in Anklam is a technical museum dedicated to Otto Lilienthal, the aviation pioneer, mechanical engineer and humanist who came from this town.

Further topics round out this regional overview. Ueckermünde Zoo is home to more than 1,120 native and exotic animals representing 95 species; feeding demonstrations take place daily. As animal numbers and feeding times may change, check the latest information before your visit. At Ukranenland Torgelow, the first Slavic boat reconstructed in Germany is used for boat trips. Participants have to row themselves—a key difference from a trip where you simply travel aboard.
