Dive into Schwerin`s Lakes
Enjoy Schwerin’s lakes and unspoilt nature – still an insider’s tip, away from the stress and bustle of mass tourism. The Schweriner See covers an area of 63 km2, has many little coves and is connected to several other lakes and rivers. Along its shores you are bound to encounter fishermen and even castle owners.
The charming outdoor museum “Freilichtmuseum Schwerin-Mueß” lies in the centre of a restored 18th-century village at the southern shore of the Schweriner See. You will recognise it by the scent of sweet herbs, the sound of bleating sheep and the rhythmic hammering coming from the village’s old blacksmith’s shop. The ducal castle “Schloss Wiligrad”, which is surrounded by fairytale gardens, is situated in the nearby Lübstorf. The hill fort 'Michelenburg' in the village Dorf Mecklenburg tells of Schwerin’s Slavonic roots and ancient oak trees in Raben-Steinfeld are part of the large castle park.
From Fishing to Windsurfing
Explore Schwerin’s lakes by canoe, by bike, by boat or simply put on your hiking boots and set out on your own journey. One thing is guaranteed, the unspoilt watersports area will stimulate your senses with its visual impressions, flora and fauna.
Resting places along the waterways and more than 140 mooring places around the Schweriner See invite you to take a break and explore everything about and around Schwerin.
