Lakeshores, forest paths and places to visit give a stay in Fünfseen a range of different highlights. The municipality offers a wide variety of leisure activities, including water sports, hiking and cycling; its lakes are also ideal for swimming. When planning, it is worth distinguishing between the specific paths and destinations in Petersdorf, Lenz-Süd and Kogel: they differ in route type and direction.

Hiking trails and swimming spot near Petersdorf

A hiking trail runs along Lake Petersdorf to Lenzer Strand and in the opposite direction to Malchow. Along the way, it passes the swimming spot on Lake Petersdorf. This is set in a small mixed forest beside the lake, which connects Lake Fleesen with Lake Plau. Parking is not available directly at the swimming spot, so bear this in mind when planning.

In Lenz-Süd, cycling and walking paths run along Lake Petersdorf to Malchow and in the opposite direction to the Natur-Caravanplatz in the town of Malchow. This gives you a choice of different route types and destinations: the path along the lake is a hiking trail, while cycling paths also specifically run through Lenz-Süd.

Circular trail and swimming area at Lake Kogel

At Lake Kogel, the focus is on a circular route. A circular trail invites you to go for a walk and linger; other hiking trails follow the lakeshore and pass through the adjoining forest. This lets you choose between a loop along the shore and trails with sections through the forest. The swimming spot at Lake Kogel is popular with locals and holidaymakers in summer. Its seasonal nature is a useful consideration when planning a stay focused on walks and swimming.

More places to visit and a monument

The fallow deer enclosure in Satow-Hütte is a place to visit. Another tourist attraction is the observation tower in the extensive wetland area in the Stuersches and Rogeezer basins. In Kogel, a historic site complements the natural attractions: the former stable is now a listed monument and is the only surviving testament to the work of the local aristocratic family. The fallow deer enclosure, observation tower and listed stable therefore offer different kinds of outings within the municipality.

Boat landing stages and trip planning

Next to Lenz-Süd is a steamboat landing stage described as a starting point for trips to Plau or via Malchow to Waren. Before travelling, check with the operator whether and when such a trip is available.

The boat landing stage in Petersdorf has existed since at least 1903. It was described as a request stop from which shipping lines offered trips to Malchow or Plau am See. If you would like to plan such a trip, contact the shipping company in advance. This lets you consider hiking trails, places to visit and possible boat connections as separate elements of your trip, without taking the connections for granted.
