Uecker-Randow

Uecker-Randow is a district in northeastern Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania characterized by lakes, rivers, and forests reaching toward the Polish border. The landscape is crisscrossed by waterways that shape the terrain and connect different natural areas throughout the region.

The district was formed in 1994 through the combination of two former administrative areas and maintained this structure until 2011. The region's location along historical borders between different territories shaped its development over centuries.

The district takes its name from two rivers that shape the landscape and define how people relate to their surroundings. This proximity to the Polish border gives the region a distinctive character that influences local traditions and cross-border connections.

The district administration is based in Pasewalk, which offers good transport connections and serves as an orientation point in the region. Reaching different parts of the district is made easier by the network of federal highways that connect the area.

The district borders the Szczecin Lagoon and contains nature reserves where visitors can observe local animals in their natural habitats. This coastal zone creates a special setting for experiencing nature close up.
