パルマー湖のおすすめツーリングルート

Not accessible with cargo bikes or trailers, best to use the bridge about 200m upstream.

Concrete slabs are easy to ride. Road bikes aren't really suitable. Gravel is fine.

It's a nice long route along the canal and you meet other cyclists 😀

Beautiful along the water, better than the official BK cycle path.

The 14 km long Bützow-Güstrow Canal connects the town of Güstrow with the Warnow near Bützow.

The lakeside promenade is lined with picturesque neoclassical villas. A number of hotels have been built here in the style of seaside resort architecture. One of the oldest hotels on the promenade is the Hotel Hübner. It was built in 1852 as a residence and bathhouse by the shipowner Friedrich Gustav Hübner from Rostock. Two other impressive buildings on the promenade are the Heinkel Villa and the Weather Service Villa. The house at Seestrasse 15 is the so-called "Heinkel Villa". This house was built in 1880 and purchased by the aircraft engineer Ernst Heinkel in 1930. Today the "Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde" is located here. To the right of the Heinkel Villa is the Weather Service building. You can recognize it by the measuring devices on the roof and in the dunes. This “weather house” was once the former summer residence of the well-known Rostock schnapps manufacturer Conrad Lehment, who created the double caraway specialty “Mann un Fru”.

very impressed

Barlach's sculptures and paintings are exhibited in the bright exhibition building and in Barlach's studio house; the exhibition building currently has works on the theme of "movement": "Avenger", "Wanderer" and "Dancing Old Man". In the studio house there are impressive designs for World War I memorials, including the Hamburg and Magdeburg memorials, the two sculptures with which Barlach had his breakthrough, the figures of the Beethoven memorial and pictures of him. Ernst Barlach: Born in 1870, raised in the Hamburg area and in Mecklenburg, Barlach studied art and did this and that; was unsuccessful for a long time until he traveled to Russia at the age of 36 and brought inspiration and ideas from there/from the folk art there. Since then, Barlach has created down-to-earth, authentic, earth-rooted, often clunky figures and was successful with them. At 40 he went to Güstrow, at 56 he had his studio house built, and died at the age of 68. Highly recommended, Güstrow and its two Barlach museums.
