Ziegelsee lakeside cycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This viewpoint is located on a hilltop. There are two benches on the dirt road.

The bike path is excellent...it's easy to climb if you're coming from Schwerin.

But anyone should be able to climb this little hilltop.

The view is fantastic.

Ziegelsee (Innensee)

Lake

8.01 km

Ziegelsee (Inner Lake), Schwerin

Highlight • Lake

The Ziegelsee is divided into two parts. In the urban area of Schwerin, the Inner Lake borders directly on the Pfaffenteich with a view of the cathedral. A beautiful bike path leads along the Ziegelsee from Schwerin to the Schwerin outer lake.

St. Paul's Church, Schwerin

Highlight • Religious Site

The Paulskirche stands on a hill that was built at the time using the most modern construction techniques.

It is a neo-Gothic church whose original furnishings such as stained glass on the window, the altar with paintings, the chancellery and the royal box have been preserved.

Pfaffenteich

Highlight • Lake

You can quickly cycle around the Pfaffenteich, but you'll be sharing the path with pedestrians. It's quite easy to get along. Where you enter the pedestrian zone, there's outdoor dining with a view of the fountain—nice 😉

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.

Opening times castle museum:
April 14th to October 13th
Tuesday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m

October 14th to April 13th
Tuesday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m
closed on Monday

Equestrian Statue of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II (Schwerin Palace Garden)

Highlight • Monument

After the death of the popular Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II - the builder of the castle in Schwerin - his son commissioned the construction of a monumental statue. The object was financed through donations. It is considered the only historical equestrian statue in all of Mecklenburg.

The work of the Mecklenburg sculptor Ludwig Brunow was ceremoniously unveiled in 1893 - in the presence of high-ranking state guests such as Emperor Wilhelm II and Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia, as well as everyone who was of rank and name in the Mecklenburg court nobility. Inspired by the equestrian statues of Roman emperors and the Prussian Elector in Berlin, it was designed according to the typical, mostly military-influenced taste of the late 19th century. The figures of the Grand Duke and his horse stand on a marble base more than 4 m high.

The base is surrounded by allegories of the 4 ruler virtues: strength, justice, wisdom and faith. Two commemorative plaques show events from the reign of Friedrich Franz II - the construction of the new university building in Rostock and the Grand Duke's arrival in Schwerin in 1871.

The monument survived two wars and two dictatorships with great luck. It escaped being melted down for war purposes, the iconoclasm after the end of the war and being scrapped.

Old Town of Schwerin

Highlight • Settlement

Schwerin is divided into several districts. The so-called Old Town (Altstadt) is located around Schwerin Cathedral and is the historic core. Settlement dates back a long way, and ancient traces can still be seen today. Schwerin Cathedral and the area around the market square are worth seeing.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altstadt_(Schwerin)

Schwerin Castle is an absolute highlight with a long history. In 1160, the Wendish prince Niklot burned the Slavic fortress and withdrew. Henry the Lion rebuilt it, laying the foundation for the present-day city of Schwerin.

The castle now houses the state parliament and a museum.

May 7, 2025,Seehof -Schwerin - Bank - Altstadtbrauhaus - Seehof

A short trip to the Volksbank was planned. It was short in terms of kilometers, but a leisurely stroll in terms of time, because the Altstadtbrauhaus (Old Town Brewery) spontaneously invited us for lunch. The beer was delicious, and the lunch menu for under €10 was just as good. The AltstadtBrauhaus, unlike the brewery in Waren an der Müritz, is …
