I camped here on my bikepacking trip. Beautiful location, well-maintained restrooms, small but nice. Friendly staff. €10 for an overnight stay is a great price.

The Boitin Stone Dance is one of the most famous archaeological monuments in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It consists of four stone circles. The stone circles are located in the Tarnow district of Boitin, near the town of Bützow - in the forest, on a straight stretch between Tarnow and Zernin (approx. 2.2 km). The Boitin Stone Dance consists of three stone circles that are close together and a stone circle about 100 m opposite. The position of the stone circles and information about them can be seen on an information board on site. The large stone circle consists of 9 stones. Some stones have names, such as "Kanzel". The granite stone that tapers upwards, with the vertical row of holes, is called the "Brautlade". A shelter offers shelter in bad weather. Seating invites you to linger.

It is estimated that several thousand stone circles were built in Europe in the Middle Stone Age. Many of them have disappeared over time, e.g. due to weathering or the formation of moors, others were used as material. Today only a few hundred remain. There are three stone circles next to each other here, a fourth in the forest a little way away, with a total of 30 menhirs (up to 1.60m high). There is even said to have been a fifth. The age is unclear, but at least people who died later in the Iron Age (750 BC to 1000 AD) are said to have been buried here. Wikipedia has an explanation of the calendar function, according to which the sunrise at the winter solstice, the 13 lunar months (Small Stone Dance), the 28 days of the month (Great Stone Dance), the 13x28=364 +1 (extra stone)=365 days of the year and the leap year solution (every four years - four additional stones) -->365 1/4 days are measurable/represented. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boitiner_Steintanz

With the exception of the unusual tower, the Ruchow church is a true type of Mecklenburg fieldstone church from the time of the transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic style in the 13th century. The single-nave fieldstone building, built in 1234, is particularly impressive due to the wooden tower to the west, which has a pointed roof covered with larch shingles. The interior, including an organ, baroque altar and rich paintings, is also worth seeing. Why is the tower so high? Because otherwise the mill would have been higher! It is said: In Ruchow the devil is above the Lord. The mill is higher than the church.
