Cruise through <strong>Mecklenburg<\/strong> with Locaboat and take time to enjoy new experiences through this incredible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.locaboat.com\/en\/boating-holidays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boating holidays destination<\/a>.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2><strong>Try something different <\/strong><\/h2>\n&nbsp;\n<h3><strong>Don\u2019t let them off the hook! <\/strong><\/h3>\nThe clear waters of the <strong>Mecklenburg Lakes<\/strong> are a paradise for anglers. There\u2019s only one thing you need: get yourself a Tourist Fishing Permit \u2013 from the local tourist office, for example. Once that\u2019s in your pocket, it\u2019s your passport to all the joys of fishing. But just because you\u2019ve spotted a few carp, trout or eels, they\u2019re not in the net yet! Patience is your best friend \u2013 and whether they\u2019re biting or not, at least you\u2019ve had the chance to gaze across the region\u2019s beautiful lakes\u2026\n<h3><strong>Watch the birdies! <\/strong><\/h3>\nOn board your P\u00e9nichette\u00ae, cruising across <strong>Lake M\u00fcritz<\/strong> from <a title=\"Discover our base in Fleesensee and the lakes of Mecklenburg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.locaboat.com\/en\/boating-holidays\/germany\/mecklenburg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">F\u00fcrstenberg<\/a>, the second largest lake in Germany, it won\u2019t be long before you discover ornithological gems that every bird watcher wants to see. Surrounded by beech forests and marshes, the lakes offer the ideal habitat for the most beautiful birds, including some really rare ones. You might be lucky enough to see a white-tailed sea eagle, an osprey or even a crane. If you go further west, the Plauer See is also home to some wonderful birdlife, with over 100 different species to spot.\n<h3><strong>Real live teddy bears <\/strong><\/h3>\nThe M\u00fcritz bear sanctuary in the <a title=\"Enjoy the german lakes and rivers on a self-drive boat - Locaboat\" href=\"https:\/\/www.locaboat.com\/en\/boating-holidays\/germany\/mecklenburg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mecklenburg Lake District<\/a> is a paradise for bears, with 16 hectares of unspoilt forest that has been turned into a bear heaven! Quite often, these animals have been rescued from cruel captivity. You can watch them as they go about their daily lives \u2013 being careful never to disturb them. You might see a bear enjoying a long swim in the lake while the cubs scamper about between the trees. You can also admire the skilful and controlled way they have built their dens.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2><strong>1000 lakes served up on a plateau<\/strong><\/h2>\n&nbsp;\n<h3><strong>A different kind of heritage<\/strong><\/h3>\nAnother reason for the diversity of <strong>Mecklenburg<\/strong>\u2019s wildlife is the very distinctive character of these <strong>lakeland areas<\/strong> that lie alongside canals running from the north to the west of Germany. Between Fleesensee and <a title=\"Discover our base in F\u00fcrstenberg and the lakes of Mecklenburg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.locaboat.com\/en\/boating-holidays\/germany\/mecklenburg\/furstenberg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">F\u00fcrstenberg<\/a>, the hallmarks of this lakeland setting are the fine architecture and charming villages but also, of course, an outstandingly rich natural heritage. The region attracts adventurers looking for something new, as well as visitors who want to enjoy a completely relaxing break.\n<h3><strong>Royal rendezvous in the park<\/strong><\/h3>\nSchwerin Palace, with its five buildings, almost seems to be floating\u2026 But its unique charm is also due to the superb baroque gardens laid out in the heart of the beautiful grounds that surround this splendid palace. Stroll along the avenues of lime trees, visit the rear of the building and admire some truly spectacular sculptures. Then climb to the top of the palace to gaze down on this natural scene and its surrounding lakes. The view is like a rainbow of multicoloured flowers, green lawns and blue stretches of water.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sitting in a caf\u00e9, watching the hustle and bustle of the city, you\u2019re dreaming of somewhere quiet and peaceful surrounded by nature.
