View of Ziegelsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the hill above this small bay there is a great view of the outer lake of Ziegelsee. Pure nature with flower meadows and forest on the bank. How about a break on one of the benches?

A very varied, natural tour. On the northeastern side of the lakes, the paths are often natural and quite strenuous for trekking bikes.

The route through Schwerin is chaotic, with viewpoints often missing due to overgrowth or construction. It frequently deviates from the officially marked route, causing confusion.

Bad weather on Monday, predicted African heat on Wednesday: Tuesday was a good time for the "Blue Eight".
I opted for the slightly longer variant, in which not only the Schwerin outer and inner lakes are looped around, but also the Ziegelsee.
As I was arriving by train, I chose Bad Kleinen as my starting point and destination.
My strategy …

Difficult, difficult to rate this bike tour! The route around the outer Lake Schwerin is longer, more varied, and has a cute café and farm shop near Wiligrad Castle.
The area around the inner lake is on the east side, far away from the lake and you are at the mercy of the wind... next to the road and highway. …

Südufercamping, (Raven-Steinfeld) Schwerin
Due to the parking situation, we were allowed to drive to the campsite before 3 p.m. A nice welcome, a small, well-kept campsite. Sanitary facilities are a bit older and clean. There are still coin-operated shower machines here, 2 euros for 3 minutes of hot water. When you re-enter the site, you are asked where you want …

A nice route for cycling. A good profile would be useful - there is everything from muddy forest paths to smooth asphalt.
Important: Don't forget mosquito spray!
