Bröbberow lies directly on the Copenhagen–Berlin European Cycle Route and on the Beke, a tributary of the Warnow. Cycling provides a clear starting point when choosing a destination; the landscape and architectural history offer further topics to explore. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Bröbberow, you can first consider whether the cycling route or the municipality’s natural and cultural features are the deciding factor.

The Beke, kettle holes and Grenzer See

The Beke lowlands in the municipality are maintained as a natural habitat. In November 2002, ten kettle holes on the municipality’s arable land were successfully restored; all ten now hold water again. Kettle holes are water-filled depressions formed during the Ice Age. Many rare plants and animals live in and around natural kettle holes. Grenzer See, between Klein Grenz and Groß Grenz, has once again become a small ornithological gem. Two pairs of storks also breed in Bröbberow, and various protected birds of prey can be found there as well. At the kettle holes, you can distinguish between their geological formation and later human intervention in the landscape: the depressions date back to the Ice Age, while their restoration took place in 2002.

Cycling or strolling through the villages

The direct location on the Copenhagen–Berlin European Cycle Route is a practical point of reference for cycling travellers. If cycling is to be the focus of your stay, the route offers a clear starting point for choosing where to go. Alternatively, turn your attention to the village streetscapes: the well-preserved, notable farmsteads in Klein Grenz and the old village centre of Groß Grenz invite you to take a stroll. This way, you can get to know Bröbberow with a focus on cycling or, instead, on its rural architectural history.

Church and historic buildings

The church in Groß Grenz is originally a Gothic brick building dating from the 14th century. A bell tower still stands beside it; the organ and Baroque pews have been restored. The building’s design, bell tower and restored furnishings offer different perspectives on this local cultural attraction.

In Bröbberow, the historic Alte Pferdestall dates from 1881; its exterior was restored using historical references. The former dairy in Groß Grenz was built in 1891 and expanded in the following years. Seen in chronological context, the original church building from the 14th century stands alongside two commercial buildings from the late 19th century.

The open project “Atelier im Milchhaus” was established on the site of the former dairy, where courses and workshops were held. Before visiting, check whether a programme is currently being offered and whether access is possible. In the period after its founding in 2009, the association at the village church in Groß Grenz regularly held concerts, exhibitions and other cultural events. If you would like to plan a cultural event into your trip, check the current schedule before travelling.
