Teterow
approx. 8,900 inhabitants
When motor sports fans hear the name Teterow, they will rave of howling motors, flying grass and the smell of petrol. For decades at Whitsun, motocross drivers have been racing here on one of the few grass speedways in Europe; the winner receives a golden helmet and the Bergring trophy.
Apart from Whitsun, Teterow offers quiet recreation. As you stroll through the old town centre preferably starting at one of the town gates, follow the crooked alleys to the municipal church, the Stadtkirche.
