The best MTB trails around Kummerower Lake

The new building was founded by the Grand Duchess Dowager Marie (widow of Grand Duke George of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, née Princess of Hesse-Kassel) in memory of her two children George (lord of Remplin Castle) and Caroline, who had died in 1876 within just 20 days.

The Kummerower See, with approx. 33 km², is the fourth largest lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (around 11 km long, 4 km wide on average). It lies only about 30 cm above sea level and is an important resting and feeding ground for waterfowl (over 170 documented bird species).

In 1973 the ferry house was demolished due to dry rot; in 1974 the ferry, which needed repairs, was deliberately grounded. After the fall of the Wall, a water sports campsite was established in 1997. Today, the "Fähre Aalbude" ferry operated by MVVG runs seasonally (approx. May–October, sometimes longer) for pedestrians and cyclists between Aalbude and Verchen.

The region is characterized by ice age-formed push moraines (hill chains over 100 m, highest elevation approx. 127–128 m) and lowlands. Embedded within these are the large lakes with water levels just above sea level (Kummerower See approx. 0.2 m, Malchiner See approx. 0.6 m above NHN).

The confluence of the Tollense and Peene rivers near Haus Demmin is located southeast of the Hanseatic city of Demmin and forms a central point of the so-called "Dreistromland" (Peene, Tollense and shortly thereafter the Trebel).

1. Lübecker Speicher (ca. 1815) The oldest of the three. It is a slender, rectangular half-timbered building with four storage floors and a mansard roof made of beaver-tail tiles. The historical hoisting technology and fill height markings for various types of grain have been preserved. In 1910, a single-story extension was added to the west. 2. Berliner Speicher (1900) A four-story, brick-clad building with a five-story stairwell as a projection. From 1904 onwards, grain was also delivered via the Demmin harbor railway. The building is a listed monument, currently empty and in need of renovation. Cultural use is being sought (supported by the association "Berliner Speicher Demmin"). 3. Klänhammer Speicher (1935–1940) The largest and youngest of the three. The six- to seven-story brick-clad granary was built from 1935 for the wholesale merchant Otto Klänhammer and extended until 1940. It was one of the Reichseinheitsgetreidespeicher (modern concrete silo). For a long time, it served for grain storage (also with later added round silos). The city of Demmin has since acquired it and plans to redevelop the harbor area into a leisure and tourism zone.

Demmin lies in the so-called „Land of Three Rivers“ at the confluence of the Peene, Tollense, and Trebel rivers. Demmin joined the Hanseatic League in 1283 and was a member until around 1607. The favorable location on the rivers made the city a trade hub in the Baltic Sea region. Until the late 19th century, smaller seagoing vessels regularly called at Demmin. The harbor was expanded and the Peene deepened; around 1900, grain trading, a sugar factory, and other industries flourished here.

An approx. 10 km long, wild and romantic breakthrough valley south of Malchin. It extends approximately from Peenhäuser/Demzin to the area of Malchin (to the railway bridge north of the B 104).
