Description

There are over 1000 large and small lakes here, embedded between extensive forests and meadows. This countryside is absolutely perfect for cycling tours. In past century, Fritz Reuter, an important Low German poet, described this spot of land as paradise which he considered to be the beginning of the Creation story. Those interested in cultural history are confronted with many a sight worth seeing on their trip through towns and villages. Fortified boulder churches, old manor houses and mills, and old town walls that all tell their own history. Hovering over some still lakes you can, with a little luck, still catch a glimpse of the rare fish eagle and kingfisher that are indigenous here. Here, in the Mecklenburg lakeland area, every friend of nature, who would like to recuperate actively away from the daily grind, gets his money's worth. We want to introduce you to this wonderful lake and forest area.
