アルトカレンの湖・トップ19

In the legends of Dargun, it is said that a hideous dragon once wreaked havoc in the monastery lake, which was then still a large swamp, and that its favorite food was virgins.

you can take a nice walk along the edge and there is even an outdoor swimming pool

This is a great place to take a short break and enjoy the view

The lake is located west of Dargun in the Mecklenburg region of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It was probably created in the 14th century by the monks of Dargun Monastery.

The lake was dammed by the monks, making it artificial and one of five reservoirs in MV. Very beautiful because it largely has natural banks. There's also a lot of history surrounding it

The monastery lake of Dargun is about 180 m wide, 1350 m long and about 3-4 m deep. You can walk around it in about 1.5 hours. The lake was created by the monks of the monastery in the 14th century with the help of a dam. It was used for fishing and to operate a water mill. A path leads directly from the lake promenade to the Mecklenburg Switzerland Nature Park and Lake Kummerow. There is a bicycle and trolley rental station at the Klostersee

Super nice people with great tips. A real recommendation here is to rent a canoe or kayak. There are tours to the water hiking rest stop 8 km away, to Demmin or a 5-day tour on offer. The rental takes care of the return transport. Individual paddling is also offered.

Beautiful views of the lake. In winter with slightly better visibility as the trees do not have any leaves.
