Schwerin Castle

Schwerin Castle

Schwerin's landmark is Schwerin Palace or, as Richard von Weizsäcker aptly put it: "The most beautiful seat of the state parliament in Germany". Situated on a small island in Schwerin's inner lake, the magnificent living and ceremonial rooms can be visited here. The castle tour "From the cellar to the dome" is an extraordinary experience. Here you not only see the usual rooms, but can also take a look behind the scenes of the state parliament. Hidden spiral staircases take you up to the dome of the castle tower, where a wonderful view over the state capital with its seven lakes awaits you. Guided tours are offered at weekends from April to November and on Sundays in December. Important: A valid identity card is required for this tour.

The castle garden, which surrounds Schwerin Castle on three sides, is recommended for a stroll. It is laid out in the style of an English landscape garden and is also home to the mystical castle grotto. From the hill, you have a beautiful view across Lake Schwerin to the islands.

Schwerin's "White Fleet" is available for tired legs. From the main jetty next to the castle, the excursion steamers take various routes across the inner and outer lake.

Schwerin

The state capital Schwerin

The state capital Schwerin with its lake landscape has many facets that are worth exploring on holiday. But where do you start? The best place is in the city of Schwerin itself. The city centre is only 6 km away from the Seehotel Frankenhorst.

To get a first impression of Schwerin, city tours by bus or more privately by rickshaw are ideal. Through the old town centre, past the Pfaffenteich pond, the cathedral, the castle and other sights, you can see the most beautiful places in Schwerin in this way. With the red double-decker buses, you also have the option of getting off at various stops to see the city off the beaten track. Of course, you can continue your journey later.

Would you prefer to explore Schwerin yourself? Why not use the digital treasure hunt, geocaching. Here you can easily discover the city on various routes with a mobile navigation device and get to know hidden places. You can organise your time individually and leave the route for a break in a restaurant or a shopping spree.

The lake landscape

The lake landscape

The best way to explore Schwerin's lake district is by bike. From the Seehotel Frankenhorst, there are various cycle tours that promise a varied holiday in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Cycle along the cycle paths along the inner or outer lake and ideally take your swimming gear and picnic basket with you. Because you don't just pass through beautiful nature reserves along the shores. Meadows, small bays and several bathing establishments also invite you to swim. Zippendorf beach, the largest sandy beach in the city, is located on Lake Schwerin. In addition to the cool water, you will find cosy restaurants and cafés on the beach promenade.

The small towns around Schwerin, such as Groß Trebbow with Lake Trebbow, are also easy to reach by bike and well worth a visit.

The Pfaffenteich

The Pfaffenteich

In the centre of the old town, the Pfaffenteich invites you to linger. The man-made lake is home to historic buildings such as Schwerin's arsenal and many cafés. Events such as the Old Town Festival and the Dragon Boat Days take place regularly on the Lindenpromenade. Don't want to walk round the entire lake? Then simply use the "Petermännchen" ferry to get to the other shore.

Cultural

Cultural

Schwerin also offers cultural highlights in the evening. Whether opera, drama or musical theatre. The Mecklenburg State Theatre has something for every taste.

The annual castle festival in summer is not to be missed. This is where opera meets the most beautiful castle backdrop. What began as an insider tip for opera lovers has now established itself as an international festival. So book your tickets early to give a beautiful day in Schwerin a unique ending.

Climbing forest Schwerin

Climbing forest Schwerin

The Schwerin climbing forest is the place to be. With nine courses with more than 80 elements, every climbing enthusiast will find their own personal challenge. Take the 120 metre long cable car across the mixed forest and dare to free fall from a height of 13 metres - pure adrenaline. Recharge your batteries in the cosy forest café, where you can enjoy homemade cakes and other delicacies.
