Surrounded by wide fields, meadows and forests, the lake offers a picturesque backdrop and a peaceful atmosphere that invites you to linger. The town of Mirow, which stretches along the southeastern shore of the lake, is a charming town with a well-kept beach. Here you can swim wonderfully in the lake in summer and enjoy the sun. Near the beach there is a kiosk and a restaurant, perfect for taking a break and refueling. On the opposite bank, which is easy to reach by bike, there is a campsite that also offers canoe rentals. A canoe tour on Lake Mirow is a wonderful way to enjoy the tranquil beauty of the lake from the water. A special highlight are the local fisheries on the lake. There you can try freshly smoked fish, which is prepared directly on the lake. There is nothing better than a delicious fish sandwich while looking out over the lake. The cycle paths around Lake Mirow are well developed and offer beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding landscape. The area here is ideal for cycling, with good surfaces and occasionally excellent cycle paths.

The Müritz, the largest inland lake in northern Germany, is a true paradise for every cyclist and nature lover. Its Slavic name, which means "small sea", says it all: the vastness and beauty of the lake are breathtaking. The cycle path around the Müritz leads me through diverse landscapes - from bee and butterfly meadows to forests where sea eagles and buzzards circle. The rippling of the water accompanies me on my tour as I enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Part of the eastern shore of the Müritz belongs to the Müritz National Park, a true treasure for anyone who wants to explore nature by bike or on foot. The well-developed cycle paths lead sometimes closer, sometimes further away from the shore and always offer fascinating views of the lake. Along the shore of the Müritz I find numerous beautiful bathing spots. Whether sandy beaches, bathing jetties or sunbathing lawns - there is something for everyone. The clear water of the Müritz invites you to swim and relax. The variety ranges from dog beaches and nudist areas to family-friendly shores with shallow water. In Waren, one of the picturesque towns on the banks of the Müritz, it is worth visiting the old town and taking a stroll through the alleys. The restaurants at the harbor offer something for every taste and are a popular meeting place to end the day.

Highly recommended! Here, the experience of nature and traces of the past combine in an idyllic way. Mirow Palace and Park are part of an entire ensemble on the palace island. There are two other architectural highlights: the Renaissance gatehouse and the Johanniter Church, which also houses the family crypt of the Strelitz ducal house. The palace has a fascinating history. At its core, it still consists of parts of a previous building from 1708, which was partially destroyed in a fire in 1742. The Baroque ballroom, which still exists today, dates from 1710. The current building was erected between 1749 and 1752 on behalf of Adolf Friedrich III according to plans by Christoph Julius Löwe. It is a small, two-story structure with an H-shaped floor plan, flanked by short, risalit-like wings. The facades of the eleven-aisled palace are rather plainly designed, with simple gables on the risalits. The interior of the palace was inspired by 18th-century French country palaces. The palace is said to have once been furnished with valuable furnishings by artists who also worked at Sanssouci, but today, little of this remains. After the ducal family left, the palace was repeatedly left unused for long periods and was mainly used for burials in the nearby princely crypt. A bike tour to the castle island of Mirow is a great way to actively explore the beautiful surroundings. The Mecklenburg Lake District offers numerous bike paths that lead comfortably to the island. Along the way, you can discover the picturesque nature, the lakes, and the charming villages along the way.
