Rollwitz: Cycling Route and Traces of History

Rollwitz combines a road connection with a long-distance cycling route that passes through the village. It also has historical points of interest at the former estate and a Bronze Age burial mound. If you are looking for a hotel for a cycling trip or a stay with an interest in cultural history, these topics may help inform your choice of destination.

Getting Here and the Cycling Route

Rollwitz lies on the B 109 and is directly connected to the A 20 via Pasewalk Süd. The Berlin–Usedom long-distance cycling route passes through Rollwitz. Check the local route signage before setting out on a cycling tour.

Further away in the region, the long-distance cycling route runs mainly along separate cycle paths, in places along paved farm and forest roads, and only on short stretches along federal highways and through built-up areas. These details give an idea of the variety of paths along the route, without prescribing a specific tour itinerary. You can consider the road connection and cycling route as separate points of reference when planning your stay.

Estate Wall and Bronze Age Burial Mound

The former estate and the church in Rollwitz are enclosed by a listed estate wall. A gate tower in the wall once housed the bell. The wall and gate tower provide a tangible architectural link to the history of the estate, while the bell adds a historical detail.

Another perspective on local history can be found at Töppelberg, also known as Tempelberg. It is a Bronze Age burial mound. Rollwitz is therefore home to a range of cultural and historical subjects: the estate wall with its former bell location and a burial mound from prehistoric times. If you are interested in history, you can take these different points of interest into account when choosing a destination.
