In central Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the former Güstrow District touches the northern edge of the Müritz Lakeland. It is filled with many lakes and waterways, including the large Inselsee to the south of the former capital and the river Warnow running through from south-west to the north.

The ancient figure of Henry the Lion is celebrated here — the most powerful prince of his time. His grandson founded the town of Güstrow, after which this district is named, over 800 years ago.
This is the location of a delightful 16th century Schloss sitting on a huge lake and with extensive landscaped gardens. It also has one of the best examples of a brick-gothic cathedral with their 13th century structure.
The forested nature park Nossentiner-Schwinzer-Heide sits to the south of the former Güstrow District and is a perfect location for outdoor activities. Although relatively flat, the scenery offered by the natural wetlands brings along all kinds of wildlife to the area — including ospreys.
