ホーエン・ヴァンゲリンの湖・トップ20

Old monastery church houses a great organ museum

My first glimpse of Lake Fleesensee—impressed by its beauty and size. Right next to this spot on the beach is the Seewirtschaft restaurant with a fantastic view of the lake. If you're nearby, just stop by and enjoy the moment.

Malchow is wonderful to explore by bike and offers ideal conditions for cycling. This charming island town delights with its blend of nature, history, and relaxed atmosphere. A good starting point is Malchow's town harbor, with its view of the swing bridge, which opens hourly and is a small experience in itself. From there, a well-developed network of cycle paths leads along Lake Malchow and on through wooded landscapes and tranquil fields. A tour around Lake Fleesen or a detour into the "Blüthenmoor" nature reserve is particularly worthwhile, where, with a bit of luck, you might spot cranes or white-tailed eagles. Cultural attractions can also be easily incorporated, such as the DDR Museum or the historic monastery church on the monastery island. For a relaxing break, there are cafés and restaurants with lake views – the outdoor terraces right by the swing bridge are especially lovely. The routes are mostly flat and well signposted, making Malchow suitable for both ambitious cyclists and those who prefer a leisurely ride. Those who don't bring their own bicycle will find numerous rental stations on site, including those offering e-bikes. This makes cycling around Malchow a truly enjoyable experience amidst water, forests, and expansive views.

Some of the rounds were very good and some were terrible.

The blue lake shimmers hidden behind the hill. Very beautiful

Perfect panoramic view over the water

Small, tranquil place with flair.

Unfortunately, there are not many poppies to be seen at the moment.
