If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Hoort, water sports and culture in the wider Ludwigslust-Parchim destination can offer different focuses for planning your trip. One specific water sports destination is the Zachun Beach water ski lift in Neu Zachun: its water course is 800 metres long.
Water sports at Zachun Beach
The Zachun water ski lift is the first water ski lift in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Courses in water skiing and wakeboarding are available for beginners. You must be able to swim to take part. The lift ticket includes a pair of water skis and a life jacket. You can rent a wakeboard, wetsuit and helmet from the equipment rental service for an additional charge. This makes it easy to check the course and required equipment before your visit; details of the facilities and services may change.
Beach, rules and facilities
At Gewässer 3686 – Kiessee in Neu Zachun, swimming and water skiing must not be disrupted; boats are not permitted there. Follow these rules and check the latest information about the lake. Zachun Beach water ski lift also has a beach with a sunbathing lawn and a children’s playground. There is also a self-service restaurant and a campsite on site. Since facilities, catering and accommodation services may change, it is advisable to check the latest information before travelling.
Culture in the wider Ludwigslust-Parchim destination
Ludwigslust Palace offers a different theme. It was the former residence of the Mecklenburg dukes and, together with its park and town, forms an ensemble known as the “Little Versailles of the North”. The palace is at the heart of an almost completely preserved late Baroque town complex, with a former court church and an English-style landscape park. The palace presents art and courtly domestic culture from the 18th and early 19th centuries. Its architecture, town layout and museum themes therefore offer different points of interest for a culture-focused stay.
The Dömitz Citadel tells a different architectural story: the Renaissance fortress was built on the Italian model as a pentagon with bastions, casemates and a drawbridge. In addition to the history of the fortress and town, the museum in the fortress covers the Elbe, harbour and bridges, Fritz Reuter, and temporary and art exhibitions. At Zarrentin Abbey, guided tours cover the history of the former Cistercian nunnery, the lives of the nuns and the architecture. The ground floor houses a permanent exhibition about the abbey. Tour dates and access may change; check these details when planning your visit.
Explore the landscape
The landscape offers another focus alongside water sports and architecture. The calcareous fen near Zarrentin is part of the Schaalelauf Nature Reserve. Visitors can explore the fen from the nature trail. In the wider Ludwigslust-Parchim destination, historical themes, architecture and a specific natural area can thus be found side by side, without forming a fixed route. When choosing your accommodation, you can consider which of these interests matter for your trip.
