Tollense
The Tollense (pronounced [tʰɔˈlɛnzə] , from Slav. Dolenzia = valley low , dol or dolina = valley) is a river in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . Its name rises from the Tollensesee and flows into the Peene near the town of Demmin , of which it is the most important right tributary . It flows in parts with quite a lot of meanders, partly channeled through an approximately two kilometer wide glacial valley with pronounced, high bank slopes and terraces . Over its total length of 68 kilometers, it has a gradient of 13 meters. The Tollense is a narrow river and not navigable due to several built-in weir steps . From a hydrological point of view, the stream is viewed as its upper course, which flows into the Tollensesee at the opposite end.
River course
Upper course
The source stream of the Tollense rises 800 m northeast of the 70.5 m above sea level. NHN located Mürtzsee east of Blumenholz , in the valley floor about the level of the lake. This is followed in a south and west close to each other by three more lakes, a Mittelsee (69.7 m), a Langer See (69.3 m) and the one at the angle between the B 96 ( E 251 ) and the Berlin – Neustrelitz – Rostock railway line located Krebssee (68.8 m). The stream leaves this to the north and loses 45 meters in altitude on the five kilometers to the sand mill, from which it is called Ziemenbach . From the sand mill it is another 4.2 kilometers to the Lieps lake . The main connection from the Lieps to the Tollensesee and thus also part of the classified Tollenselauf is the Alte Graben .
Tollensesee
The calculated river route through the Tollensesee differs slightly from the straight line and measures 10.7 km.
From the Tollensesee
Immediately after leaving the lake, the course of the river forks, divided into the partially canalised Ölmühlenbach and a canal that leads to the old town, up to the confluence of the linden tree as Oberbach, behind it called Unterbach. The watercourses connect about 1.6 kilometers downstream to the Tollense. To the north of Neubrandenburg there are several “peat holes” on both sides of the Tollense. These are flooded, former peat cuttings . Today the artificially created ponds are partly used for fishing.
In the area of the peat holes, the Tollense is only partially canalised, then, up to about one kilometer after the Datze confluence , completely in a canal bed.
From the confluence of the Ölmühlenbach, about 500 m north of the B 104 , the course of the river, including the valley areas, is part of the Tollensetal FFH area with tributaries .
A meandering section of the river begins five kilometers from Lake Tollensesee . It extends to the level of the village of Neddemin . On this way it flows through the Birkbuschwiesen , a 132.5 hectare nature reserve . Again there are abandoned and flooded peat cuttings. The valley floor on both sides of the Tollense is partly reed and bushy. A forest follows on the right side of the river.
Behind Neddemin, the Tollense is divided on the left into a canal and on the right into a natural, strongly meandering watercourse and thus runs to the town of Altentreptow . The river is lined with fields and grassland on this stretch of the route. There are only a few groups of trees near the river, but the natural course of the river is lined with black alder and other soft deciduous trees.
Behind Altentreptow both watercourses are reunited. From here the river valley is narrow for a longer section. The Tollense is now meandering strongly again. The deeper valley sections are used here as grassland. The terrace slopes of the river valley are partially forested.
When you reach the village of Klempenow , the Große Landgraben flows into the Tollense. The river is now changing direction and flowing northwest. From here he uses an old, wide glacial valley for his run. The high and partly steep hillside terraces are now set far back. The bottom of the valley is used as grassland and small groups of trees can only be found in isolated, wetter places on the bank. The Tollense flows canalised here again, but not in a straight line, but rather winding in large arcs through the wide valley.
After the opening of the Augrabens in the Tollense these flows on the southern outskirts Demmin over and opens the city by House Demmin in the Peene .
Finds from the Bronze Age
North of Altentreptow, near the early medieval castle with the Slavic name Conerow (can be dated because of the remains of the wall), human bones have been found on embankments and in the river bed since the 1990s, which often show traces of violence, such as skull holes or remaining arrowheads. Archaeologists from the University of Greifswald have so far recovered bones over a 300-meter stretch of the river that can currently be assigned to more than 100 individuals. However, the total number of those killed is estimated to be higher and the - not yet found - place of the battle is assumed upstream of the historical and now changed course of the river. In the up to three meters thick layers of peat , the human remains were well preserved.
Coin find
A coin treasure from the time of the Thirty Years' War was discovered south of the village of Weltzin in the municipality of Burow .
water sports
From Neubrandenburg, the Tollense can be ridden with smaller boats (canoes, Canadians, rowing boats). If there are several weirs and obstacles (stone embankments, low bridges and so-called herb barriers), you have to move around during the 68-kilometer boat trip. It is advisable to continue on the edge of the Tollense canal from Neddemin to Altentreptow. A higher flow velocity can only be expected in parts of the upper reaches of the Tollense.
