Top 4 Natural Monuments around Schossin

On the Wall in Wittenburg, near the Bürgerpark, a small stream babbles quietly: the Undine spring. According to legend, a fairy named Undine once promised eternal love to a man if he swore loyalty to her. The man agreed to the promise and pledged his loyalty. Later, however, he married another woman, and Undine punished him with death. But his death did not bring Undine satisfaction; on the contrary. Deeply unhappy about what had happened, she transformed herself into a spring on the man's grave after his funeral. In this form, she still embraces her beloved with friendly arms. As part of its membership in the "Sagen- und Märchenstraße" (Legends and Fairy Tales Route) association, a life-size wooden statue of Undine was placed at the spring in 2010, which was previously crafted in just two days in front of the town's historic town hall.

I discovered this place a long time ago. Here beech and oak grew up together. It is nice to see how the two trees have turned together into the sky and give each other strength.

A real gem what it is located south-west of Schwerin. The landscape protection area Siebendörfer Moor is a fen that has its origins in the Ice Age. It was created from the silting up of a ground moraine lake and can now be safely accessed on foot or by bike on asphalted and paved paths.

Large nature reserve with many water ditches and fields to enliven the bog. The paths are easy to walk or cycle (grass, fine gravel or completely asphalted) and there are cows, sheep and some species of birds and insects on the meadows.

The Siebendörfer Moor is located southwest of Schwerin and is a fen, which was created by silting a Grundmoränensees. Until the 1920s peat was turfed on small areas. Now it is a protected landscape area and is partly used as pastureland. Through targeted irrigation, the moor is revived. This contributes significantly to species, biotope and climate protection. The moor is not only a breeding ground for many species of birds, but also resting and wintering grounds for gray geese and cranes. Through the moor lead paths that are partially paved. Here you can hike well and ride a bike even in bad weather. Watching the birds is possible from a safe distance, you should have a pair of binoculars.
