Peenetal Moor Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Declared a NSG north of Anklam along the Peene since 1979. In the course of the renaturation, the old cycle path along the main road was flooded and therefore had to be raised.

Wrangelsburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The current castle was built in 1878. The previous building was converted into a baroque castle in 1652 by Carl Gustav Wrangel, the Swedish general governor of Pomerania. In 1945 it was expropriated and occupied by the Soviet military administration. Today it is in private hands.

The Great Lake Pinnow is located in the Pinnower Forst in Lassaner Winkel. The lake has a length of about 1.3 km and a width of about 690 m. Its origins go back to the last ice age.
Above all, the north and east shores are blurred and difficult to access. On the southwestern shore of the lake is a very pretty little swimming area (beach). The very clear water invites you to swim.
There are no significant surface waters in the lake. Since the construction of a drain in the 20th century, the water level dropped significantly. After its closure, it has risen again and reached after heavy rainfall in May 2013 a recent high.
With a depth of 15.2 m, the Great Pinnower See is the third deepest lake in Western Pomerania. The water quality in the lake is of high quality. Measurements in 1997 revealed high visibility depths of 4.8 m to 5.2 m.

Buggower Lake

Highlight • Lake

An absolutely magical little lake. With a bit of luck, you might even spot eagles! It's very isolated and difficult to reach by car (which is a good thing!), but hiking here is a wonderful experience thanks to the magnificent landscape and forest backdrop! The trail is signposted, even from three directions.
Please be as quiet as possible and keep everything perfectly clean!

Former peat pit Menzlin

Highlight • Natural

West of Anklam is part of the Lower Peenetal Nature Reserve. Peenetalmoor has been under protection since 1979. Here, just south of Menzlin, there are some former peat bogs.

There are a few small paths that you can ride along the bike and right on the Peene you will also find a canoe rental: kanuverleih-menzlin.de

The Unteres Peenetal (Peenetalmoor) nature reserve is a vast wetland area of around 1,500 hectares, located in the Peene River Valley near Anklam. It protects unique peat bogs and flood meadows that were formed after the last ice age. Today, it is one of the most valuable wetland areas in Germany, with a rich flora and fauna – rare species of butterflies, water birds and birds of prey can be found here. As part of the Peenetal project, work has been carried out for years to restore natural water conditions.

The nature reserve is very extensive, with numerous birds to see and a small observation tower. A bird was perched on almost every dead tree. The nature reserve is accessible via a well-maintained bike path.

The bathing area is completely fenced off, so it can only be visited during opening hours… What a pity.

The castle is private and not accessible, but walking (not cycling) is allowed on the park paths - it's worth it. A very well-kept facility.
