The Schaalsee is a real jewel in southwestern Mecklenburg and is currently particularly beautiful with the autumn colors of the surrounding forests. This tour combines two short, fairly easy walks from Zarrentin. First, it goes north along the banks of the Schaalsee and then around the smaller Kirchensee. After a coffee stop at the Seecafe Zarrentin (also a very large …

Friendly round at the Schaalsee in Zarrentin on the border between S-H and M-V about 60 km from Hamburg.

More of a walk than a hike. holiday, fine weather. In the lido, suckling pig and beer are served to 70s soul and Caribbean sounds. Zarrentin is a very pretty and stylish little place, high recreational value, wonderful views. Particularly noteworthy …

We don't really know Schaalsee yet, so let's start with Zarrentin. Very nice! The lake invites you to swim in many places, the place is nice, there is excellent smoked fish, an old monastery and lots of nature.

This weekend, I'm treating myself to a short break in Lauenburg 🏘️ on the Elbe 🏞️. But before checking into my chosen hotel 🏩 there, I drove a little further to Zarrentin 🏘️ on the Schaalsee 🏞️ for a short, lovely lakeside walk.

It's only the end of March, but the path is well traveled. A dreamlike nature bedded in the crystal clear water of the Schaalsee. We think when the sun gets higher it might get crowded too. At the start you can buy smoked fish or fish rolls, just delicious. Parking is a bit pricey at €1.20 per hour or €6 …
