We only knew Plau am See by name before and stopped there for two days on our way back from the Baltic Sea. It's a very beautiful area. The cycling and hiking trails are well-developed. Of course, it's not very busy in February. Perfect for relaxing hikes! 👍

In summer, there's an unbearable plague of mosquitoes. There's also a climbing forest nearby.

Bad Stuer, located on the southern shore of Lake Plauer See, was first mentioned in the 13th century. After centuries of agriculture and fishing, it developed into a summer resort with bathing areas in the 19th century – hence the name "Bad." Tourism grew in the 20th century, particularly with camping and vacation rentals. Today, Bad Stuer is a quiet resort with a focus on nature and active holidays. It offers ideal conditions for cyclists: The Plauer See circular trail and the Mecklenburg Lakes cycle path lead through a diverse landscape, complemented by tours in the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide Nature Park.

The Bobzin hydroelectric power station near Lübz benefits from the steep gradient of the Elde River there: The adjacent lock, with a lift height of 6.80 meters, is considered the deepest in Mecklenburg. The Zieher family took over the power station and the farmstead of the caretakers' families in 1993. The house has since served as a guesthouse. A vertical water turbine installed in the power station in 1999 once again generates electricity. It also serves as an exhibition space for the Museum of Regional Electricity Supply. The coal shortage after the First World War, among other things, triggered the construction of these facilities. The hydroelectric power station of the Mecklenburg-Schwerin State Electricity Works and the Bobzin lock were built between 1923 and 1925. To integrate this lock into the course of the Elde, a section of the river was straightened, and locks dating back to 1803 were decommissioned. Two of these can still be found in Fahrenhorst and Forsthof near Kuppentin. The power plant remained in operation until its Soviet dismantling in 1946 and, using new technology, began generating electricity again in 1954. Due to technical problems and water shortages (agriculture required a lot of water), the plant was shut down again in 1974.
