Gutshaus Stolpe
The river landscape of the Peene – the ‘Amazon of the North’
The Peene Valley around Anklam offers an impressive mix of outdoor adventure and culture. Nature lovers can discover the unspoilt river landscape with its rich wildlife on hikes, bike rides and raft trips. Canoe trips and boat excursions on the Peene are considered a highlight – also in the evening for beaver watching or as guided nature walks to the cormorant colonies in the Stadtbruch. Many meadows here are being renaturalised into wetlands and can also be explored with professional rangers.
Due to its unspoilt nature and wild beauty, the Peene Valley is also known as the ‘Amazon of the North’ and is ideal for bird watching, including rare white-tailed eagles, and exploring the moors.
The Peene flows directly past the Gutshaus Stolpe , where you can not only start your hike or boat tour, but also enjoy the excellent cuisine of chef Mehmet Kaan Verdo after returning home.
