Beautiful village church (inside and out): organ, carved wooden altar, altar; organ music from the small organ plays at the push of a button.

A section of the road between Vipperow and Röbel, with well-maintained concrete slabs. Easy to ride even with a racing bike.

Boek Manor House is located in what is now the Boek district of the municipality of Rechlin. The two-story manor house, with its 13 window axes and striking central projection, was built in the first half of the 19th century, presumably between 1800 and 1850, as the prestigious seat of a Mecklenburg estate. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the property was owned by several noble and landowning families, most recently the le Fort family, who managed the estate until it was expropriated by the Nazi regime. In 1935, the manor house and the surrounding grounds were taken over by the German Air Force, as the important Rechlin Air Base – a central air force testing center during the Third Reich – was located in the immediate vicinity. After the end of World War II, the building was used for various purposes during the GDR era, including agricultural administration and as housing and storage facilities. After German reunification, a comprehensive renovation of the manor house began in the 1990s, preserving and restoring large parts of its historic structure. Today, Boek Manor serves as a National Park Information Center, informing visitors about the nature and history of the Müritz National Park. In addition to the National Park exhibition, the building houses a village museum, a tin figure museum, and a tin figure workshop showcasing traditional handicrafts. The Boek fishponds nearby also offer opportunities to observe ospreys and sea eagles. Currently (as of May 2025), the manor house is still closed for renovation work.
