Schwerin's charming lakeland region is perfect for nature lovers. Now the habitat of beavers, otters, kingfishers, cranes, red kites and the white stork, this primeval region with its small lakes and magnificent Lake Schwerin was formed long ago by meltwater after the last ice age.Wismar
The old Hanseatic town of Wismar with its romantic maritime atmosphere is 30 kilometres away. Carefully restored town houses on the largest market square in Germany and imposing brick-built churches attract lots of visitors. Its profusion of important monuments dating back to the time of the Hanseatic League prompted UNESCO to designate the town centre a world heritage site.Warnowtal Valley
