October 11, 2021,Meck-Pomm - Malchow - Runde um den Petersdorfer See

Nice round around the comparatively small Petersdorfer See. Large parts of the route lead through wonderful mixed forests with old trees, predominantly beech and oak.
On warm days you should bring your bathing suit with you, because there are plenty of opportunities for swimming. But since you are usually quite alone here, you can certainly do without swimming trunks 😉. …

September 8, 2022,Wander - Tour...Malchow...3 Seen Runde

Day 6 Mother & son holiday

Another nice hike today.
We started in Malchow, on the small offshore peninsula, which is connected to Malchow town by a swing bridge.

Always left along the canal to Petersdorfer See.
Continue to Lenz am Plauer See.
Half time, lunch break!

Then back on the other side of the canal.

A nice, relaxed route with no real highlights.
For long stretches the path didn't even offer a view of the canal.
The monastery church in Malchow was unfortunately still closed on Sunday morning at 8.00 a.m.
Malchow itself is a nice place that invites you to linger. I really liked the town church of Malchow with its ceiling.

There is a lot to see / visit in beautiful Malchow .. The town mill, the GDR Museum, or the monastery e.g.
After a stroll, we went on to the Plauer See, where "sea feeling" arose for a short time ... What a lake! 🤩
A beautiful round that - with a few short exceptions - runs mainly on beautiful …

Today the three of us are on the road again. This time it went over the border of Brandenburg, to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the small town of Malchow.
Malchow itself has always been worth a trip, such pretty houses, beautiful by the water and cafes and restaurants everywhere.
But first we went from the parking lot past the old monastery, …

September 14, 2021,🇩🇪👣 Rund um den Malchower und den Petersdorfer See

Today we started right at our holiday home and hiked around the two lakes.

For the most part away from any roads on beautiful narrow paths. This hike is so beautiful that it even made it into the Rother hiking guide for the Mecklenburg Lake District.

October 2, 2022,Malchow und Petersdorfer See

The tour towards Plauer See started from Malchower Damm across the island and the harbour. With autumnal flair, we alternated along the water, through forests and along paddocks and pastures to Lenz am Plauer See. In the harbor restaurant there, in addition to drinking electrolytes, you have a great opportunity to observe the passing ships and boats from close up. …

Today we had a really good time! A beautiful hiking trail from Melchow on the south side of Lake Petersdorf to Lenz and then back to Malchow on the north side. The path went through a lot of beautiful forest, now and then along the edge of the forest and again and again a view of the lake. Unfortunately, on …
