European Route of Brick Gothic
This cross-border network links Baltic-region towns where medieval builders used brick for Gothic churches and civic buildings. It suits travelers interested in architecture and Hanseatic history more than a continuous drive.
Why go
Compare the brick architecture of Stralsund and Wismar, then consider Greifswald or Anklam for another Hanseatic setting. The route also reaches Denmark and Poland, showing how shared materials and trading connections crossed today's borders. A focused cluster makes more sense than trying to follow the entire network.
Useful to know
Choose a small group of Baltic towns before arranging transport; the named sites span three countries.
Allow time to walk each historic centre, where the value lies in comparing buildings rather than collecting route markers.
