Schnakenburg Observation Tower (View over Lake Müritz)

From the shelter you have a magnificent view of the expanse of the Müritz. In every season many different birds can be observed here. It is most exciting in the autumn when countless cranes stop by the lakes.

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

Nice hike through the Müritz National Park, partly on the squirrel path.

Free parking for hikers at the starting point.

Unfortunately, there is not too much to see from the lake, as you cannot walk directly along the shore. Forest looks the same everywhere 🤷. For this, the “wrong way” around the small lake compensates you towards the end of …

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.

February 5, 2025,The Sound of Silence: Von Waren nach Schnakenburg

A hike in the deep silence between Müritz and Teufelsbruch. It was absolute relaxation for the soul - completely alone in nature again! This area is one of the most popular destinations in the Müritz National Park! Many people will have already been here and have also been able to enjoy the great atmosphere! A classic!
