Lake Schwerin and the city of Schwerin...worth a trip. It's a great drive around the lake. Schwerin has a lot of cobblestones.

The Hohen Viecheln bathing area is located on the northern shore of Lake Schwerin. It features a very large lawn for sunbathing, offering space for games and sports. A jetty leads into the water. The shore is sandy and gently sloping.

Today the castle ensemble belongs to the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is used by, among others, an art association and the State Office for Monument Preservation.

This viewpoint is located on a hilltop. There are two benches there. The bike path is excellent...it's easy to climb if you're coming from Schwerin. But anyone should be able to climb this little hilltop. The view is fantastic.

Riding bicycles in the castle gardens is prohibited. Even pushing bicycles is prohibited there. You can park your bikes at the bus stop. Or at the cafe. Why someone here is copying and pasting 8 times and thus posting 8 tips is anyone's guess.
