Strasburg (Uckermark) brings together town history and outdoor activities: the town lake loop is used for walking and jogging, while St. Mary’s Church and the museum explore different historical topics. Nearby, a hiking trail leads through mixed deciduous forests to a bathing area on Lake Schmiedegrundsee. This lets you plan your stay around attractions in town, an excursion nearby, or a broader look at Vorpommern-Greifswald.
Routes in town and a nearby destination
Locals use the town lake loop in Strasburg for jogging and walking. After a temporary closure, it reopened on September 23, 2026. The loop is a local point of interest alongside the town’s historical attractions.
Another route lies nearby: a hiking trail runs from the Strasburg–Rothemühl road, over a hill and through mixed deciduous forests to Lake Schmiedegrundsee, where there is a bathing area. The two options have different characters: the town lake loop is used for walking and jogging, while the forest trail leads to the lake. This gives you two different ways to include outdoor activity in your stay.
Church and museum: local history
Construction of the early Gothic fieldstone Church of St. Mary began around 1250; the choir and the lower section of the tower have been preserved. The church offers a connection to architectural history. The Strasburg (Uckermark) Museum has a different focus, with exhibitions on the history of the town and the Huguenots. If you are planning the cultural part of your stay, these two places in Strasburg offer distinct subjects to explore.
A historical classroom is located in the annex of the Strasburg local history museum. It can be visited during museum opening hours; check the current hours before travelling. The museum also displays an ornamental clock made entirely of straw. Its unusual choice of material is a specific exhibition detail alongside the themes of town history and the Huguenots.
Another exhibition area is devoted to the life and work of Max Schmeling. He was born in Klein Luckow, a short distance from Strasburg and outside the town. The museum holds two to three special exhibitions each year; their themes and dates change. If a special exhibition is important to your plans, check the current programme in advance.
A broader perspective: Uckermark and Vorpommern-Greifswald
Strasburg lies on the edge of the largely unspoilt Uckermark landscape, which invites you to enjoy relaxing excursions in the Brohmer Berge hills. This regional perspective adds another option for planning your trip alongside the local attractions.
In the wider travel destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald, the three nature parks cover almost 40 percent of the district’s area. The Ueckermünder Heide heathland invites visitors to hike, cycle and ride. The range of topics thus extends from town history and routes near Strasburg to nature and outdoor activities across the wider travel region.
The local attractions offer a range of ways to explore the town: architectural history at St. Mary’s Church, exhibitions at the museum, or outdoor activity on the town lake loop. If you would like to visit the historical classroom, plan your visit around the museum’s opening hours.
