Torgelow, located in the pristine Uecker-Randow region in Western Pomerania, is a fascinating small town entirely dedicated to bringing history to life. Surrounded by dense forests and heathlands, the town has gained nationwide recognition primarily through the Ukranenland open-air museum. This unique archaeological center is a life-size reconstruction of a 9th and 10th-century Slavic village. Visitors can watch historical artisans at work, sail the Uecker river on faithfully replicated Slavic ships, and authentically experience everyday life in the early Middle Ages. Right in the town center is the Castrum Turglowe, an impressive replica of a High Middle Ages castle complex that vividly illustrates life in the region around the year 1200. Besides its living history, the heavily forested surroundings of the Uecker valley invite visitors to go on long hiking and cycling tours. Water sports enthusiasts value the Uecker river as a handy terrain for extensive canoe trips. With its incomparable journey back in time and the untouched surrounding nature, Torgelow has an exciting alternative to the classic coastal resorts and is an insider tip for families and history buffs.
