Sunny beaches and clean lakes

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is a vacation land of superlatives. Here you can find nature in abundance, the cleanest air and sophisticated cultural exhibitions, picturesque cliff coastlines, such as the "Chalk cliffs on the Isle of Rügen", walks along beautiful beaches of finest sand. The magical coast stretches, - thanks to a multitude of coves - that are called "Bodden" here in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania approximately 1,700 kilometers.

In the northeast - on the Isle of Usedom - the sun shines a total of 1902 hours per annum, much more than the Federal Republic average. More than 2000 larger and smaller clean lakes will attract you inland between forests, meadows and fields. The Müritz National Park is a German jewel of flowers and vegetation.

The cultural land to the north

Even the Baltic Sea coast bike path joins the decorative towns with their beautiful open areas and beautiful seaside resort spa architecture. Moving inland shady avenues lead you to magnificently restored castles and gentlemen's country estates, which are today open as hotels for guests. The fairy tale castle in Schwerin is the pride of the State Capital and the seat of the State Parliament.
