ヴィッパート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 wall stood here until 1993 (!!)

The village church in Vipperow is one of the oldest churches in the Müritz region and dates back to around 1300. Originally built as a fortified church from fieldstone, it impresses with its ornate brick gable on the east side. A sacristy and vestibule were added in the 15th century, and the wooden half-timbered tower was added in the 18th century. Inside, a richly decorated carved altar from around 1500 draws the eye, depicting a crescent-moon Madonna and numerous figures of saints. Medieval wall paintings – including a fragment of the Last Judgment – were uncovered and carefully restored, giving the church a special atmosphere. The organ dates from the 19th century and was recently extensively overhauled. Today, the church not only serves as a worship service but also hosts concerts and cultural events. It offers a worthwhile stop for cyclists and those interested in culture – quietly located, historically significant, and full of ornate details.

The church is usually open, which isn't always the case. It's a small village church, with a simple interior and partially exposed wall paintings.

Lake Müritz is the largest lake in Germany.

Good for watching ships

The road from Vipperow to Bollewick is absolutely unsuitable for cycling! Cars whizz past you at 100 km. And at the crossing of the Bundestrasse it is DEATHLY DANGEROUS! Absolutely irresponsible that Mecklenburger Radtour sends you there.
