Mecklenburg Lake District

When we think of the Lake District, things most likely to spring to mind are Lancashire, Scafell Pike and William Wordsworth. But what about Germany’s Lake District, also known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes? The Mecklenburg Lake District is the largest Lakeland area in Central Europe, consisting of 3 nature parks nestled around Müritz National Park, one of the leading examples of sustainable tourism in Europe. While they share a name, the Lakes in Britain and the Lakes in Germany are quite distinct from one another. Mecklenburg Lake District is mainly flat, boasts over 1,000 small and large lakes, and are dotted with palaces, castles and stately homes. The pristine nature in the area is well-protected for future generations, and the forest, lakes and marshes bring tourists from all over the world to explore, relax and enjoy the view.

For nature lovers, Mecklenburg is the ideal holiday destination. Explore Müritz National Park, with its rare and endangered bird species, marshes and water as far as the eye can see. The Serrahn part of the National Park was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status in 2011 due to its ancient beech forests. These primeval forests are largely untouched and can be found nowhere else in the world. Whilst there, you may encounter deer, raccoons, otters and a fascinating array of insects and fungi! Besides exploring the natural wonders of the region on foot or on bike, you can rent a canoe and admire the breathtaking nature from the water!
