Nature experiences in the Mecklenburg Lake District
As a broader travel destination, the Mecklenburg Lake District offers a wider range of nature and cultural attractions. Müritz National Park is part of the Mecklenburg Lake District and is characterised by forests, moors, lakes and expansive meadows. Its hiking trail explores the park’s landscape types and distinctive features over nine stages: it passes lakes, winds through ancient forests, goes by inland dunes and leads to the source of the River Havel. An inland dune is a type of dune found away from the coast, adding another landscape feature to the lakes and ancient forests mentioned above.
Certified nature and landscape guides offer informative tours through MĂĽritz National Park. These include guided visits to the UNESCO World Heritage beech forest at Serrahn and tours from the water. The difference is relevant when choosing a nature experience: the multi-stage trail explores a variety of landscape types, while the guided tours focus on particular themes and perspectives.

These stops combine movement with different ways to look and explore.
