The complex consists of several fortifications, including a circular wall with an outer diameter of approximately 100 x 90 meters at the northern end of the ridge and three slightly arched cross-walls that closed off the southern access side. The complex is protected as an archaeological monument.

Polchow lay on Mecklenburg's oldest trade route, the Via Regia, which ran through this area 1,000 years ago and was already used by Slavic and Arab traders. The church in Polchow was built between 1888 and 1891 by Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel and is a neo-Gothic brick building with a recessed choir and a west tower, constructed over a three-year period. The choir windows depict the apostles Peter and Paul. The stone epitaph depicts the Crucifixion in its center, flanked by kneeling family members turning toward the scene of the crucifixion. Above it is the Resurrection. The old linden tree in the cemetery was declared a natural monument in 1937 and is considered the oldest linden tree in Mecklenburg. As early as 1886, its circumference was given as 13 meters.

At the end point of the Slavic Path there is another information point with a playground. Very nice place, good place to rest, you step out of the forest onto a beautiful meadow

Probably the oldest wild apple tree in Germany, maybe even in Central Europe, grows here. According to the sign, it is about 400 years old, probably closer to 120. In 2007 it fell victim to storm Kyrill and broke apart. Today it sprouts from the two main branches and is still full of buds. It's amazing how long this tree has endured!

Wonderful avenue of apple trees, very good road surface, little traffic

The 1000-year-old linden tree also stands here in the cemetery

Polchow, the oldest village in the Güstrow district, was first mentioned in documents in 1216. At that time it was owned by the Dargun Monastery, which also received patronage rights over the church. The oldest trade route in Mecklenburg, "via regia", passed the site and offered rest and supply facilities in the "taberna" called 1219. Polchow's church, which dates back to the 13th century, was demolished in 1888 due to dilapidation. It was replaced by the church designed by Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel between 1888 and 1891 and built by the Teterower master builder Pitschner. The neo-Gothic brick building with west tower has been extensively restored inside and out in recent years.

At this point there are two large erratic blocks - the twins. You can find inscriptions from the 20s on both stones.
