Zippendorfer Strand
Highlight • Beach
The long city beach is located on the southern shore of Schwerin's inner lake and is also easy to reach on foot or by bike from the old town.
Zippendorf beach is 20 meters wide and enormously long and is the largest sandy beach in the city. Hundreds of bathers flock here in summer.
The historic beach promenade invites you to stroll and its cozy cafes and restaurants ensure your physical well-being.
As early as the 19th century, Zippendorf was a popular excursion destination far beyond the city limits. The villas along the beach promenade with cafes and restaurants are testament to this time. Today, hundreds of sun-seekers flock here in summer,
while regular beach volleyball, disco music and a cocktail bar ensure a lively beach atmosphere.

Banzkow Lock and Bascule Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
In the course of making the Stör navigable in 1576, the first lock was built in Banzkow. The sturgeon plays an increasingly important role as a transport route. It became necessary to use ships that were as large as possible for the transport of goods. The existing lock no longer served this purpose. It was converted to the Finow size (barges with a carrying capacity of up to around 200 t).
Bridge:
A crossing over the Stör has always been of particular importance to Banzkow. An important trade route from Hamburg to Neubrandenburg ran through Banzkow. Travelers from Lübeck to Crivitz also passed through here. The importance of the Banzkow Bridge can be seen from the fact that in 1800 many freight teams and cattle used this route over the Stör every day.
In front of the lock in 1897 a two-way swing bridge was erected, which was initially opened by hand and later by an electric drive. In 1952 construction work on the swing bridge was required. The spans were increased to 5.90 m and 7.70 m, the clear height was therefore 1 m. Over the years, the entire road surface, which consisted of thick wooden planks, had to be renewed several times.
In 2002, the municipality of Banzkow received a completely new bascule bridge over the Stör Canal.
