The district of Warrenzin lies right on Federal Highway 110. The restored and inhabited manor house stands in the village itself. Other archaeological traces can be found in the municipality, including Slavic hillforts in the forests south of Wolkow, five Bronze Age burial mounds and the megalithic tomb of Upost. The Peene forms the southern boundary of the municipal area. When planning your trip, it is worth treating Warrenzin itself and the destinations in the municipality as separate points of reference.
Warrenzin Manor House
Warrenzin Manor House has been restored and is inhabited. Johann Carl Blank took over the lease in 1842; he is believed to have had the manor house built in its present form.
Archaeological Traces in the Municipality
Hoher Wall is a Slavic hillfort above the Peene, in the forests south of Wolkow. WeiĂźer Wall is also a Slavic hillfort. Signposts lead around WeiĂźer Wall to its old gate, where an information panel stands. Five Bronze Age burial mounds are also located in the same forests. The sites span a range of periods, from Bronze Age burial mounds to Slavic hillforts.
A large cup-marked stone also lies beside the northern side of a path in the municipality. Its upper surface is densely covered with small cup-shaped depressions rubbed into the stone; an information panel stands beside it.
The megalithic tomb of Upost was reconstructed after excavations in 1968. It contained numerous grave goods of various pottery types, as well as several flint axes and flint chisels. The tomb is in Upost; access begins just before the entrance to Warrenzin. Turn onto a forest track there, park the car and follow the main forest path for about 20 minutes to the tomb. The approximately 20 minutes refers to the walk that follows, not the entire journey. Trail conditions and signs may change; check both before setting out.
Church History in Beestland
A bronze bell from Schorrentin Church hangs in a freestanding bell tower at Beestland Chapel. F. Schuenemann cast it in Demmin in 1839. Beestland Manor House and the Upost Low German hall house are also among the municipality’s historic buildings. The dates are three years apart: the bell was cast in 1839, and Blank took over the lease in 1842.
The Driftholt Raft
The Driftholt raft is another travel option in the municipality; its address is in Beestland. No boating licence is required, and it is designed for up to eight people. On board, there are four sleeping berths, an onboard toilet, cooking facilities, a refrigerator, chairs and life jackets. Guests can also bring a canoe or bicycles to explore more of the waterways or the surrounding land. For group planning, the distinction is important: the raft is designed for up to eight people, but there are only four sleeping berths on board. If you plan to use the raft, check its current availability in advance.
