Stages: 2 | In the mountains of Mecklenburg Switzerland, one fairy-tale castle dreams next to another. They stand among stately hills, hidden valleys and romantic lakes. Wild roses and apple trees line the fields. Meter-thick oaks watch over flower-strewn meadows. In between, streams and ponds sparkle with water lilies and swans.

Almost too good to be true, and not infrequently the work of ingenious garden designers. Their dreamlike landscape parks often merge seamlessly with nature. In this region alone, ten parks bear the signature of the most important garden architect of classicism, Peter Joseph Lenné, exemplified by the parks in Basedow and Remplin. Kissed awake from their slumber, many stately homes now house elegant hotels and glamorous concert halls. The gardens are open for romantic walks, often also for concerts. The greatest pearls in the manorial treasure chest are the castles of Teschow, Prebberede, Lelkendorf and Basedow. In addition, there are dozens of manor houses, one in almost every village.
On the second stage, the cycling vacationers circumnavigate Lake Malchin. Here, the pearl necklace of magnificent buildings steeped in history continues. Ulrichshusen Castle, for example, dates back to the Renaissance, while Schlitz Castle and Schorssow Castle are particularly fine examples of classicism. Blücherhof even proves that neo-baroque and art nouveau blend wonderfully with Russian folklore. In the middle of it all rests - completely unimpressed by fashion and power - the huge but shallow lake. On its reedy shores, the last ice age piled up a real small mountain range - the Switzerland of the North. Even our ancestors appreciated the outstanding real estate with the good view.
Numerous burial mounds from the Stone Age and the Slavic ring wall on an island in Lake Teterow bear witness to the early settlement of this region. The nature park offers shelter to many rare plants and animals. White-tailed eagles, ospreys and lesser spotted eagles breed here, and with a bit of luck you can spot otters and beavers.
