December 4, 2025,#27...Inselstadt Malchow🌊💫⛴️♥️Kloster zu Malchow⛪️

Today's choice was between a hiking tour with "Just Nature" or "Highlights in a Town in the Mecklenburg Lake District" 🤔🤔🤔

Kerstin chose the island town of Malchow 🌊⛴️⚓️.

It was a great choice by Kerstin... Malchow on Lake Malchow is well worth a visit. Lots of lake views, a festively decorated town center

Today we were out and about in the island town of Malchow - not the first time either, but it's always worth it. Some restaurants in the best locations invite you to take a break with food and drink with great views of the lake. We can recommend.

The monastery was unfortunately scaffolded and not accessible. Nice walk through the town in sunny autumn weather and ate sensational fried fish in the Fisch-Hus.

Today was another beautiful sunny day that we spent in Malchow.
The swing bridge is very interesting, it brings traffic to a standstill for up to 60 minutes.
Luckily we didn't have to wait that long.

After a short break in the hotel, we went straight to see Malchow and finally eat fish rolls 😁
We can definitely recommend our Hotel Rosendomizil. On request we could even wash our sports clothes.

We took a walk to the Malchow monastery …
