Land of the 1000 lakes
The Mecklenburg Lake District – between Berlin
and the Baltic Sea – can be actively explored in very
different, enjoyable ways: water tours as well as hiking
and biking tours.

Water tours in the land of
1,000 lakes
The Mecklenburg Lake District invites you
to paddle, sail, dive, swim and enjoy. But
which lake is the best for what type of activity?
For example, there is often a breeze
on Lake Müritz, which means it is perfect
for sailors and surfers. Diving is particularly
suited in the clear and calm water
of the Feldberg lake district and the small
lake plateau is a paradise for paddlers.
There, most of the lakes are connected
through channels or rivers.
A bed with an ocean view
A houseboat or raft is the best way to explore
the region. You can either choose to
sleep in a secluded anchorage bay under a
star-filled sky, or in a luxury marina in one
of the harbour cities. In Europe’s largest
networked aquatic sports area, many of
the 1,117 lakes are connected through natural
rivers and canals. Numerous charter
companies rent boats for 2 to 12 persons.
A boating license is not required; instead,
you will receive a thorough introduction
prior to beginning your journey. Each
amateur captain determines their own individual
sailing schedule. Whether for one
or two weeks or for the entire summer –
there are enough possibilities for taking a
trip. And what’s best: the excellent water
quality in the lakes combines boating with
swimming.
Untamed, real nature
Several national natural environments
lie in the area of the lake district – or are
located in the vicinity. These protected
regions are home to many rare species
of animals, such as the common crane,
which can be watched from nearby
during the spring and autumn months.
The Müritz National Park is a spectacular
destination for hikers. The park’s old
beech wood forests belong to the UNESCO
World Natural Heritage.

Holidays on
the Water
„Venice, Southern France, Irish canals. Quite wonderful areas,“ says
Robert Tremmel, a travel journalist from Mirow.
But for a breakfast looking out across water lilies and thousands of
birds in the golden autumn, come to the land of 1000 lakes.

Houseboats
Motor yachts
Camping
Sailing
Daily Rent
Houseboat is a collective
term for motor
boats with a living
room, a kitchen and
a bathroom. The houseboats
are your own
mobile lodge. The boats
are up to 15 meters
long and have been
elegantly designed. In
search of the perfect
floor plan, Harald
Kuhnle devised the
Kormoran series. It has
become a trademark of
the region and is being
built in Rechlin for the
whole of Europe.
These boats are up to
15 meters long and
are sometimes called
Dutch or steel yachts.
They are pleasant
to drive which is
important if you are
planning a long trip.
Explore the untouched
river landscapes of
Mecklenburg: Havel,
Elde and Peene. The
motor yachts are well
equipped and have
many traditional
features.
Camping on the water
is all about finding and
booking that exclusive
pitch on one of the
crystal clear lakes. Whether
you have a tent, a
caravan or a motorhome
the best pitches are in
high demand. If you
don‘t own a caravan, you
can easily rent a caravan
and raft in a duo which
is called a watercamper/
freecamper made in
Mecklenburg. These Tom
Sawyer style wooden
rafts are mainly rented
out on the smaller lakes.
The Müritz or the
Kummerow Lake
is well known for
competitive sailing for
catamarans, dinghies
and cruisers. There
are sailing regattas,
places to rent boats
and sailing schools for
beginners. Traveling
sailors love the weeklong
journey over
rivers and lakes by
the Binnenrevier. One
of the best things is
chatting to the harbor
masters.
Rent a small boat,
for a day of swimming,
sunbathing
and fishing. It’s easy
to do. Many hotels
and tourist information
points provide
information on local
suppliers.
Day boats with engines
up to 15 hp are
license free. Over 15
hp and you will need
a sport boat license.
Alternatively, you can
always opt for a day
course at a sailing
school.
