マルコワー湖周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

From the southeastern shore of Lake Malchow, there is an impressive view of the former Malchow Monastery, situated on a small hill on the opposite shore. The striking red brick buildings with their tall church towers dominate the town's panorama and, when the water is calm, are atmospherically reflected in the lake. The former Magdalene Convent, later a Cistercian monastery and finally a noble women's convent, is now an important cultural monument. The viewing point on the lakeshore is easily accessible via the cycling and hiking path and invites you to take a short rest with a view of the historic skyline of Old Malchow.

He was respected as a capable and conscientious police officer. The people of Malchow and the surrounding area were all the more shocked when they learned of the cold-blooded murder while on duty. On November 13, 1923, at 9:00 a.m., he was riding his service bicycle toward the Nossentiner Hütte. While checking two people he suspected of being burglars, one of them pulled out a weapon and entered Hildebradt without warning.

The Malchow Monastery Art Museum presents works of art in historically restored rooms and offers an impressive experience of regional art history. The monastery's former refectory houses the works and study of the Malchow-born artist Rudolf Gahlbeck (1895–1972), as well as works by Sieghard Dittner (1924–2002), who lived in Malchow for many years; Friedrich-Franz Pingel (1904–1994), also born in Malchow; and Peter Hesse (1921–2008).

Villa Auguste in Malchow was built between 1902 and 1904 by leather manufacturer Julius Steinlein and named after his wife, Auguste. The building was modeled on urban villas of the time and features neoclassical elements, including two striking stained-glass windows with floral motifs in the entrance area. After Auguste Steinlein's death in 1947, the villa became the property of the city in 1958. In the following decades, it served a variety of purposes, initially as a clubhouse for workers and later as a youth center. Between 2014 and 2015, the building underwent extensive renovations. Its historical character was preserved while simultaneously being adapted to modern requirements. Today, the villa houses a day care center for the elderly. The garden area, with the fountain figure "Nereid with Putto," was also restored and completes the overall appearance of the building.

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.

The trail runs between Lenz and the Malchow Nature Camp and leads through ancient beech forests along the eastern shore of Lake Plau. The path, narrow in places, runs partly directly along the lake and partly slightly elevated. It is natural, technically moderately difficult, and ideal for mountain bikes or gravel bikes. Roots and short climbs provide variety, and there are always magnificent views over the lake. This route is ideal for cyclists seeking a combination of athletic challenge and enjoyment of nature. The proximity to the lake and the passage through the beech forest make it a special experience in the Mecklenburg Lake District.
