The Mecklenburg Lake District is unique in Central Europe. No other region has as many bodies of water connected by waterways and canals. Proudly, the region calls itself the "Land of a Thousand Lakes." However, it's not just canoeists who find a little paradise here; hikers do as well. The Rother hiking guide "Mecklenburg Lake District" presents the 50 most beautiful tours. Particularly appealing is the Müritz National Park. At the "Little Sea," as Germany's largest inland lake is called, hikers will find a perfect network of trails. Picture-perfect lakes can also be found in the Strelitzer Kleinseeplatte and the Feldberger Seenlandschaft; the Schmale Luzin and the Dreetzsee can be circled on comfortable day trips. In the Mecklenburg Switzerland region, there are even several hills to climb that offer excellent views. Birdwatchers will look forward to interesting observations.
