July 2, 2024,Historische Plauer Hubbrücke - Runde von Plau am See

Today, at the start of our vacation, we went for a little walk through Plau am See.
To strengthen ourselves for this "monster tour" 🤭 we first had a kebab.
No food, no fight! 😅
After that, we walked completely relaxed through the old town, along the canal, to the old lift bridge from 1916.
Then on to the observation …

This time, shortly before the end of the 9-euro ticket, we went with the special transport on the Mecklenburg Southern Railway via Ludwigslust to Plau am See. The small town is really very beautiful and tranquil and also has a small technical monument with its lifting bridge. Other highlights are the half-timbered houses and the castle.
Unfortunately, the clouds just …

August 20, 2025,Stadtwanderung: Schönes Städtchen Plau am See

On our way to Lake Schwerin, the third-largest lake in Germany, we take a short walk through the small town of Plau am See. I particularly like the drawbridge, which is the highest drawbridge in Mecklenburg. Of course, there's a lighthouse here too, otherwise we probably wouldn't have stopped here. 😂❤️

To say goodbye to Plau am See today, we take a short walk.
The town is still quite sleepy so early in the morning. We marvel at the charming half-timbered houses once again, enjoy the tour through the old, narrow streets, enjoy a latte in the bakery and take another look at the lighthouse. I will miss the idyll and …

July 23, 2026,Heute war Plau am See dran .

Today we drove to Plau am See.
The main goal was the bascule bridge, one of the few that are still in operation.
Unfortunately, we had bad luck - a barrier broke and the bridge was out of operation.

Nice tour through picturesque Plau am See. Twice views from above from the lighthouse and the steeple of the beautiful church.
Previously we were in the bear park, which frees bears from circuses or similar keeping and offers them a bear home.
