The lakes, canals and rivers of Mecklenburg and Brandenburg
In Mecklenburg West, stunning green countryside and beautiful waterways await you. With 33 lakes covering over 54km², the flora and fauna of this region are quite exceptional. The River Elde is navigable for 180 km but with just 17 locks, this is an area for relaxed cruising. Just 5 hours cruising from Lubz takes you to Lake Plauer, with a nature reserve of over 300 hectares teeming with birdlife.
In Mecklenberg East, an area known as Blue Paradise, there is plenty to see and do. Again, flora and fauna are abundant, including eagles, cormorants, cranes and osprey.
The water is clear, and visibility is up to 12 meters deep in the summer months. This is a great place for underwater photography enthusiasts!
There is a rich historical heritage too: Visit the Rheinsberg Castle, the half-timbered houses in Robel and Himmelpfort, known as the capital of fishing.
