Lakes, Castles and Traditions

Germany’s only island town, Malchow is made up of three parts: the historic old town (on an island in the heart of Lake Malchower), the new town, and the monastery. Before crossing the swing bridge with your houseboat to continue your cruise, make a stop at the Marlow port to explore the town’s rich cultural and historical heritage: the Kath Church, Monastery Church, Museum of the GDR, Organ Museum, and old mill…

Charming thatched lakeside houses, “isle of love,” and water lilies set the scene. Anchor and explore the baroque castle (a summer residence of the Mecklenburg dukes).

Nestled between the Röblinsee and Schwedtsee lakes, and crossed by the River Havel, the historic town of Fürstenberg is perfect to explore before or after your cruise. Learn about its long-standing porcelain craft at the castle housing the Porzellan Museum (Porcelain Museum).
