レヴィッツラントのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Not far from Matzlow-Garwitz, just about 5 km away by bike, lies this gem, which is maintained and preserved for the public, primarily by volunteers. Today we were fortunate enough to speak in person with two members of the Pingel family. A variety of events take place regularly.

The Elde River, with its source in 17209 Finken (near the AB 19), is a refuge for anyone who enjoys being with and on the water and can, for example, start from here all the way to Lake Schwerin.

Perfect for seeing animals and flora, with lots of water!

always plan to stop nearby on your tour to take a break

Beautiful all-round view over the canal and ponds

A very extensive nature reserve. There you can hike over "dikes" between the huge ponds.

A huge area with large fish ponds. A worthwhile destination for bird watching in spring and autumn.

The Garwitz lock is one of 17 locks on the Müritz-Elde waterway and, like all others, serves to overcome the height difference between the Elbe and Plauer See. The lock has sloping walls. This creates a deceptive width of almost 8 meters at the headwater. However, this must not be fully used under any circumstances, otherwise there is a risk of shipwreck when being smuggled down. The usable width there is only 6.60 meters. In addition, it should be noted that the road bridge is located directly above the lock. Mooring directly below the bridge when sluicing up can be life-threatening, as you will be trapped under the bridge with the boat. So far, no accidents in the lock due to the difficult conditions have become known. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleuse_Garwitz
