クライネミューリッツのおすすめツーリングルート

From the early 1950s until the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1993, the Rechlin Wall divided the town of Rechlin into a Soviet north and a German south. It began as a wooden wall and was later replaced by a wall separating the civilian population from the military area. After the withdrawal of the troops, an approximately 80-meter-long original section of the wall was preserved on Fritz-Reuter-Straße, and the Mauerpark, opening in 2025, commemorates this history of division with a memorial and information panels. A circular path along the former course of the wall, marked by a blue line in the pavement, brings the history to life for visitors and offers insights into the special period of Rechlin's division.

The Rechlin Wall Memorial is located in the heart of Rechlin. An approximately 80-meter-long section of the former barrier has been preserved there, serving as a reminder of the time when the town was divided by the wall into a Soviet military zone and a civilian zone. Information panels explain the history and illustrate what daily life was like in the divided village. Since 2025, the newly created Wall Park has also been part of the memorial site. A monument was erected there to commemorate the decades-long division of Rechlin. The park combines the historical dimension with a place for contemplation and reflection. A blue line in the town also symbolically marks the course of the former wall. Thus, the memorial is now a central site of remembrance in the Müritz region – it makes a particular chapter of post-war history visible and invites visitors to understand the significance of this division for the village and its inhabitants.

The pier in Rechlin on the southern shore of Lake Müritz is a striking wooden walkway that extends far into the lake and offers impressive views over the water. For cyclists on the Müritz Cycle Route, it's an ideal place to take a break and enjoy the expansive lake landscape. The pier is a signature feature of the route, connecting cycling along the shore with a unique panorama of Lake Müritz.

The wall stood here until 1993 (!!)

A short detour to the church in Vipperow is worthwhile: This fieldstone building, dating from around 1300, is one of the oldest in the Müritz region. Particularly noteworthy are the late Gothic carved altar, exposed wall paintings depicting scenes from the Last Judgment, and the charming half-timbered tower. The church is quietly located in the village and today also serves as an event venue—an ideal stopover for culture-loving cyclists.

Lake Müritz is the largest lake in Germany.

Good for watching ships

It’s worth taking a look.
