August 6, 2023,Wanderung an der Binnenmüritz/Waren

Did a little hike along the Binnenmüritz on the first Sunday of vacation. The mosquitoes almost devoured us in the humid environment, we had very good timing for that. The rain didn't come until we got back to the car

The tour mostly leads through the forest with no view of the water. The paths are mostly well-paved, making them attractive for many cyclists. There are few highlights for hikers with dogs.

I actually discovered a new hiking trail on the Müritz today. Although I grew up here, there is always something new to discover. It was dry and frosty but beautiful to walk on. I hiked part of the way here in August, when the colors were different. But every season has its charm.

September 13, 2026,2026-09-13 Waren an der Müritz: Waldbaden 🌳 🛁 mit Seeblick 😍

The entrance to Müritz National Park is directly opposite our hotel. Wonderful forest is our companion today on this beautiful loop. There is lush green, paths on springy forest soil and boardwalks by a moor lake. But above all, there is something we totally love when hiking, absolute silence 😍 It is indeed so quiet that we involuntarily only converse …

We followed the red squirrel (signposting of the hiking trail), we were followed by countless swarms of mosquitoes 🦟🦟🦟, which is why we also left the moor footbridges to the left or right.
