Kalensches Tor

Highlight • Monument

The Kalensche Tor looks really impressive with its Gothic style. It belongs to the former fortifications that surrounded Malchin.

Old Sheep Barn, Basedow

Highlight • Restaurant

Nice place for a Radelpause, whether with the road bike or touring bike. Was visited by us on our tour: "Around Lake Malchiner - Grand Castle Round" visited.

Very beautiful and picturesque castle in the middle of the village Basedow. A beautiful gem (and once fully restored...). The castle is also surrounded by a well-tended park. And there are some cafes nearby with a view of the castle.

The village church is an imposing building that you wouldn't really expect in this area. The church is located on Schloßstraße and is not far from the castle.

Lake Haussee and Schorssow

Highlight • Lake

In Schorssow there is a nice country hotel, but also an expensive castle hotel.
Nice location on Lake Haussee, not far from Lake Malchiner.

Path between Bristow and Wendischhagen with views of Lake Malchin

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

At first glance, a boring way, but very good to drive, because as well as no car bothers you and you always have a wonderful view of Lake Malchin.

The various weather forecasts predicted rain, possibly hail and thunderstorms from midday onwards today. I therefore threw out the planned longer tour around Lake Malchin and Kummerow and “only” planned Lake Malchin. Since the direct cycle path around the lake runs along the country road, at least on the south bank, I looked for an alternative route and found it:

The sky wept quietly throughout almost the entire tour, but that didn't stop us from completing our planned tour. Another lake circuit is now history for this year. It was lovely to cycle through the autumnal landscape with the colorful leaves still hanging on the trees (more of it on the ground would certainly have been more difficult).
