ホルトフーゼンの湖・トップ20

You can quickly cycle around the Pfaffenteich, but you'll be sharing the path with pedestrians. It's quite easy to get along. Where you enter the pedestrian zone, there's outdoor dining with a view of the fountain—nice 😉

Nice beach, easily accessible by bike. Parking available. A food stand too :-)

The orangery is a two-winged building, the roof serves as a terrace, it is located in the axis of the main tower of the castle and is open to the sea. The inner courtyard is planted, to the southeast there is an arcade and the statue of Hercules taming a bull in the middle of the arcade. The palm garden and shell fountain, several accessible roof terraces and the sea grotto are part of the orangery.

One of Schwerin's nine lakes is located in the middle of the city and is lined with wide promenades. It covers around 12 hectares of the city's area and is 2.80 m deep. Seven potential World Heritage ensembles stand on its banks and bear witness to a confident, lively government history of the grand ducal residence city. https://www.welterbe-schwerin.de/residenzensemble/pfaffenteich-mit-uferpromenade

The Pfaffenteich (Low German: Papendiek) was created by building a dam (later called Spieltordamm) at the northern end, probably shortly after the town was founded in the 12th century, initially as a mill pond in what was once a boggy depression. The body of water originally extended about 350 meters further south to the level of Schloßstraße, where the mill dam bordered it to the south and a water mill documented since 1178 was in operation. From here the water flowed into the Burgsee. A count's mill was in operation until the 19th century. A second mill stood on the Aubach, which became the property of the cathedral chapter, from then on was called the Bischofsmühle and was in operation until 1914. A frequent topic of dispute between the counts and the cathedral chapter, which also took possession of the mill pond, was the water's dam height. The canons, who at that time still tended their gardens on the east bank, gave the popular name “Pfaffenteich” to the lake. Source:https://de.m.wikipedia.

Very nice and right by the castle, part plant accommodation and part cafe

The plants are stored inside for the winter.

A very pleasant pond in the interior of Schwerin.
