Precisely: We are standing on the Müritz arm. Man has created a road embankment in the lake with a passage for boats. So it is not a canal.

Apparently renewed. You still have to push over it, but it's comfortable.

The kiosk on Quetzin beach is a lovely destination for bathers.

From the southeastern shore of Lake Malchow, there is an impressive view of the former Malchow Monastery, situated on a small hill on the opposite shore. The striking red brick buildings with their tall church towers dominate the town's panorama and, when the water is calm, are atmospherically reflected in the lake. The former Magdalene Convent, later a Cistercian monastery and finally a noble women's convent, is now an important cultural monument. The viewing point on the lakeshore is easily accessible via the cycling and hiking path and invites you to take a short rest with a view of the historic skyline of Old Malchow.

The village church in Priborn was built from brick in the neo-Gothic style between 1869 and 1870. It replaced an older building and was designed according to plans by Schwerin's building inspector Theodor Krüger. The rectangular building, with a polygonal chancel and a striking west tower, is richly decorated with decorative friezes and brick blind panels. Inside, there is a simple wooden altar with an altarpiece from 1869, a limestone baptismal font, a carved pulpit, and an organ from 1899. A stained-glass window bearing the coat of arms of Duke Carl from 1591 was retained from the old church. The church was closely associated with the Priborn estate, which at that time was owned by the von Ferber family. Today, the church belongs to the region's Evangelical Lutheran parish and is a listed building.
