Tips from the Community
Mecklenburg Switzerland is part of the Mecklenburg Switzerland and Lake Kummerow Nature Park. The nature park is known for the diversity and beauty of its landscapes and its rich natural resources. In the north, you will find Lake Kummerow and its surroundings, as well as the Peene Valley as far as Demmin. The heart of the nature park is the actual Mecklenburg Switzerland. Here, you will find hill ranges more than 100 meters high – so-called push moraines – and lowlands that were also formed during the Ice Age. The two large lakes lie in these lowlands, just above sea level. The differences in elevation and the open landscape provide repeated opportunities to enjoy beautiful views. The agricultural areas are highly structured by wooded fields, kettle holes, hedges, and centuries-old individual trees. On the slopes, you will discover semi-arid grasslands. The Peene River and its tributaries, peat bogs, valley bogs, streams, and ponds form a dense network of wetlands that, despite land reclamation, remain of great importance for flora and fauna. Here, you can observe, for example, otters and beavers. Lake Kummerow, Lake Malchin, and Lake Teterow and their surroundings are particularly important for migratory and resting waterfowl, as well as many breeding birds, including white-tailed eagles, lesser spotted eagles, and ospreys.

The manor house belongs to an individual who unfortunately has not been able to take care of its maintenance for years. The Geo- and Culture Association Steinreich e.V. has renovated the chapel on a voluntary basis and regularly organizes small events, such as a wine tasting at dusk on September 21, 2024 or exhibitions. In addition, the manor house was not the youth work camp but the old school further down in the village. The manor house was used as a home for several families in the GDR. There was also a hairdresser and a kindergarten there. Despite its poor condition, it is very impressive and worth seeing.
