The park is an important resting area for Nordic migratory birds: Every year in autumn and spring, tens of thousands of Greater White-fronted Geese and Bean Geese, as well as Common Cranes, rest here, plus approx. 1,000 Great Crested Grebes and 2,000 Common Pochards. All three native eagle species (Lesser Spotted Eagle, White-tailed Eagle, and Osprey) breed here; beavers and otters are widespread. Other species: White Stork (in many villages), Marsh Harrier, Common Snipe, Bluethroat, etc.

The Kummerower See lies only about 0.2–0.3 m above sea level (parts of the surroundings even below). Through the Peene (the "Amazon of the North"), seawater can even penetrate at high Baltic Sea water levels and reverse the flow direction. Previously, the lake was also called "Große Peene".

At a bathing spot we get directly to the water. The lake is idyllic, surrounded by old trees. At the edge, with a view of the lake, is another ruin, an old villa. https://youtu.be/OTc4Ax3iIn8
