Holiday in the Mecklenburg Lake District

The water-rover's paradise in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

The Mecklenburg Lake District

between the Havel and Müritz National Park is a true gem. The last Ice Age shaped this charming landscape with its forests, heathland and moors, little streams and crystal-clear lakes. With 117 square kilometres of water surface the Müritz is the second-largest body of freshwater in Germany, nearly as large as the Bodensee.

And definitely unique in Germany as a water-sports area. Many of the lakes are joined by the Havel or by other streams and canals, allowing the boater to spend hours or days touring the waters. But there are plenty of opportunities too for sailors, surfers, water-skiers or sports fishermen on this special little patch of the world. And don't forget swimming in the lovely lakes or refreshing yourself on a bike tour or a hike. What vacation offers more than a camping holiday right here, so close to nature?
