Lieper Winkel

The Lieper Winkel juts out like a peninsula into the Achterwasser and the Peenestrom. For centuries, residents could reach the rest of the island and the mainland only by boat, since there were no roads at all in the Lieper Winkel. See for yourself how the villages of Liepe, Reestow, Grüssow, and Quilitz have retained their original charm to this day. Let the Suckow Oak and St. John’s Church in Liepe tell you stories of past centuries on the peninsula.

There’s one thing above all else to discover in the Lieper Winkel: nature, nature, and more nature. Walk around the tip of the peninsula and explore the picturesque boat landings in Grüssow and Warthe. Pay a visit to the Atelier Lieper Winkel or admire the typical blue-washed clay half-timbered houses in Warthe. At the small Heimathof Lieper Winkel museum, you’ll learn how the locals lived on the peninsula in centuries past.
