Outer Lake of Schwerin

Highlight • Lake

The circuit around the lake is very beautiful. However, there is a fairly long passage that you have to drive through very loose sand.

Very beautiful and varied hiking trails lead around Lake Schwerin. If you want to circumnavigate both the outer and the inner lake in one go, you should plan some time for the almost 62 kilometers.

The Wedekind family's mausoleum is located directly on the lake.
The bronze stag is an absolute highlight and eye-catcher.

The deer shines in new splendor, and from the Mauselum you have a great view of the lake. A beautiful place.

Somehow, I don't understand such highlights. This HL is supposed to describe the entire circuit around Schwerin's Outer Lake? For example, from Seehof to Seehof? And what's along the way for 35 km? There are tons of HLs. Komoot rule... Don't set tours as HLs. By the way, on the other side of the Outer Lake... Loose, powdered sand without end...almost only accessible by mountain bike.
