Tips from the Community

Michael (mimirsbrunnen)
October 10, 2026, Stolpe Monastery Ruins

The first monks came from the Benedictine monastery Berge near Magdeburg. The monastery received extensive possessions (tolls, jugs, fields, meadows, and the market town in the land of Groswin). It was strategically located on the Peene and served to consolidate Christianity in the still young Pomeranian church.

Through extensive rewetting, a wild mosaic of shallow lakes, dead tree groups, and extensive peatland has been created. This undisturbed retreat is home to white-tailed eagles, lesser spotted eagles, beavers, and otters, among others.

In the 9th and 10th centuries, a settlement of about 18 hectares (place name "Peeneberg") was located here – an important Viking-era trading post in the settlement area of the Slavic Lutici/Tollenses. It was a joint settlement of Slavs and Vikings. The Vikings traded here along the Baltic Sea and with the hinterland (e.g., via the "Via regia").

The polder meadows and re-wetted polder areas in the Peene Valley River Landscape Nature Park are among the most fascinating examples of large-scale peatland renaturation in Central Europe. After the valuable low-lying peat areas were intensively drained in the 19th and 20th centuries by dikes and pumping stations for agriculture, an unprecedented large-scale nature conservation project led to the targeted rollback of the polders. Today, the former meadows present themselves as species-rich, flooded wetlands, which are often also referred to as the "Amazon of the North".

The area is a paradise for nature observers. Along the shore, you can see clear signs of beavers. Furthermore, the area serves as an important resting and breeding ground for rare water birds such as smews, common pochards, and common goldeneyes.

There you can stop by the small cafe and linger outside under oaks, lindens, and chestnut trees with homemade cake. The small exhibition on the upper floor is worth seeing and vividly informs about the past and history of the water castle...
