Attractions and Places To See around Granzin - Top 20

The Bobzin hydroelectric power station near Lübz benefits from the steep gradient of the Elde River there: The adjacent lock, with a lift height of 6.80 meters, is considered the deepest in Mecklenburg. The Zieher family took over the power station and the farmstead of the caretakers' families in 1993. The house has since served as a guesthouse. A vertical water turbine installed in the power station in 1999 once again generates electricity. It also serves as an exhibition space for the Museum of Regional Electricity Supply. The coal shortage after the First World War, among other things, triggered the construction of these facilities. The hydroelectric power station of the Mecklenburg-Schwerin State Electricity Works and the Bobzin lock were built between 1923 and 1925. To integrate this lock into the course of the Elde, a section of the river was straightened, and locks dating back to 1803 were decommissioned. Two of these can still be found in Fahrenhorst and Forsthof near Kuppentin. The power plant remained in operation until its Soviet dismantling in 1946 and, using new technology, began generating electricity again in 1954. Due to technical problems and water shortages (agriculture required a lot of water), the plant was shut down again in 1974.

A little old technology to marvel at

A lovely place to linger. Worth a visit at any time of year. 🏞

directly at the lock is a hydroelectric power station. open every 2nd Sunday of the month according to the notice.

Here the Warnow rises 62 m above sea level, which then flows 155 km to Warnemünde in the Baltic Sea. Like many springs in the north, the Warnow also gushes under the pond, so you can't even see it. According to legend, the spring was under the anvil of the village smithy. It has been lovingly reproduced here. Overall, the area around the spring is beautifully designed.

The Warnow, one of the most important rivers in the country, originates from its source in Grebbin. North of Grebbin, several ditches, including the Streitgraben, flow into the Warnow. From here, the river flows westward, passing through Lake Barnin and then on toward Lake Schwerin, but never reaching it. Five kilometers from the eastern shore, it turns north and continues through the sparsely populated Sternberg Lake District. The 155-kilometer-long and partially canalized Warnow finally empties into the Baltic Sea near Rostock. The country's largest city draws its drinking water from the Warnow. https://www.amt-parchimer-umland.de/m/news/1/116722/nachrichten/116722.html

The Warnow rises in Grebbin in Mecklenburg, about 30 kilometers east of the state capital Schwerin. According to legend, directly under the anvil of the former village blacksmith. The name Warnow comes from Slavic and means crow or raven river. The river is approximately 155 kilometers long from its source in Grebbin to its mouth into the Baltic Sea in Warnemünde.

According to tradition, the source of the Warnow in Grebbinlag under a forge, which was reproduced with foundation walls and anvil in the course of the International Horticultural Exhibition in Rostock in 2003. The water rises from under the anvil and collects in the neighboring spring pond. From there, a rift, initially barely noticeable, leads north. The area around the source is beautifully designed with an information board, shelter shed and a small replica of a windmill.
