Schwerin Castle

Highlight • Castle

This magnificent jewel is located directly on Lake Schwerin. Schwerin Castle is certainly one of the most beautiful in Germany. I couldn't decide which side is the prettiest. Whether at sunset from the lake side or with the beautifully landscaped castle park in the foreground. After the walk, you can also visit the fairytale castle from the inside as part of a guided tour.

Schwerin Castle Garden

Highlight • Natural Monument

The approximately 25-hectare Schwerin palace garden is one of the most beautiful baroque gardens in northern Germany. The Schwerin Palace Garden was originally laid out as a pleasure garden based on the French model.

From 1748 it was given its present form. This includes the cross channel, which was created as the centerpiece according to designs by the garden architect Jean Legeay. In the middle of the 19th century, the park was then expanded to include greenhouse gardens, kitchen gardens and the riparian zones based on the English model.

Zippendorfer Strand

Highlight • Beach

You almost feel like you are at the sea on the up to 20-meter-wide sandy beach in Zippendorf.
The long city beach is located on the southern shore of Schwerin's inner lake and is also easy to reach on foot or by bike from the old town.
Zippendorf beach is 20 meters wide and enormously long and is the largest sandy beach in the city. Hundreds of bathers flock here in summer.
The historic beach promenade invites you to stroll and its cozy cafes and restaurants ensure your physical well-being.
As early as the 19th century, Zippendorf was a popular excursion destination far beyond the city limits. The villas along the beach promenade with cafes and restaurants are testament to this time. Today, hundreds of sun-seekers flock here in summer,
while regular beach volleyball, disco music and a cocktail bar ensure a lively beach atmosphere.
