Bordering Brandenburg to the south, the former Müritz District (nowadays part of the Mecklenburg Lake District) sits in central Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Famed for its huge expanse of lakes and a National Park, the land is filled with wildlife.

The town of Waren (Müritz) is quite hilly, but it sits on the edge of the majestic Müritz, the second largest lake in Germany after Lake Constance. Nearby is the similarly large Kölpinsee, as are huge tracts of agricultural land and small forests — and to the west is the Naturpark Nossentiner-Schwinzer-Heide.
The whole of the former Müritz District is perfect for the outdoor adventurer. Whether you want to fill your days with water-sports at one of the dozen or so locations, or you want a trip to the Müritzeum Visiter Center to check out the wildlife, there is plenty to keep you occupied.
You can walk “beneath” the lakes at the Nature Discovery Center to view to local fish residing inside; or you can trek across the wetlands in search of cranes and osprey. Whatever takes your fancy! :-)
