In Germany's lakeland, recreational captains enjoy free travel. On many waterways, they need neither driving experience nor a driver's license, but only a charter certificate.

Tours from large to small

Sail independently from port to port or anchor in one of the many bays in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Every houseboat provider recommends a variety of houseboat and raft tours. Tips for locking the locks included. Along the tour, you can explore the individual ports with the neighboring towns such as Schwerin, Mirow or Dömitz or discover nature along the canals and rivers. You can be out and about for days or weeks, from the small lakes tour to the big round tour.

The smaller tours are usually done with the raft and the overnight stay in the middle of nature under the stars is planned.

A raft vacation doesn't necessarily have to be rustic and rough. You can also immerse yourself completely in nature with a little comfort. For example, you can enjoy the 22 kilometers from Diemitz to Mirow or the 42 kilometers from Pripert to Zwenzow in a relaxed manner.

Popular tours can also be found in Schwerin. Across Lake Schwerin to the island of Kaninchenwerder and small canals such as the “Lange Graben” allow you to immerse yourself in nature. For a change of pace, a detour to Schwerin Castle is possible as an alternative castle tour.

The Peene, also "Amazon of the North” called, with start in Demmin, Loitz or Anklam is ideal for nature lovers.
