The Specker See is located in the municipality of Kargow, southeast of Waren, in the west of the Müritz National Park in the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district in southeast Mecklenburg. Only a 1,700-meter-wide land bridge separates the lake from the Müritz to the west. It is approximately 2,800 meters long and 1,300 meters wide.

Where the sea eagle circles in an endless sky, the osprey dives into the lake from dizzying heights and the trumpeting of cranes accompanies the spring and autumn of each year, is a landscape that reminds us of fairy tales and stories of days gone by. With its vast forests, glittering lakes and wondrous moors, it has something original, even wild, about it that awakens our awe of nature.
