Hiking

The Wallensteingraben is a wild stream (although partially created) that meanders picturesquely through the forests. A wonderful natural landscape!

Hiking

The Wallensteingraben is a connecting ditch between Lake Schwerin and the Baltic Sea in Wismar. In its approximately 20-kilometer-long course, it overcomes a height difference of 37.8 meters. The watercourse so named today consists of the artificially created outflow of Lake Schwerin and the largely original course of the stream once called Stivine (depending on the source, also: Steffine or Stevina). A canal built in the 16th century, which shortened the course of the stream over large parts, fell into disrepair just a few years after it was built.

Hiking

The Wallensteingraben begins on the northern shore of Lake Schwerin. The 1.5-kilometer-long connection to Lake Losten to the north was created artificially by cutting through a terminal moraine ridge that marks the North Sea-Baltic Sea watershed. On the way to Lake Losten, the Bad Kleinen-Rostock railway line and state road 31 are passed under.
