A wonder of nature: Schwerin's lakeland region
Schwerin lies in a densely wooded lakeland region on the shores of Lake Schwerin, and a number of other lakes including the Burgsee, Fauler See, Grimkesee, Heidensee, Grosser Karausche, Lankower See, Medeweger See, Neumühler See, Ostorfer See, Pfaffenteich and Ziegelsee. Lake Schwerin is one of Germany's largest lakes, the Ziegelsee is known for its sailing and the Ostorfer lake is a great location for swimming. The conditions here are ideal for a host of other water sports too, and the region has some of the most spectacular unspoilt countryside that is well worth exploring.
