Enjoy the summer without breaking a sweat? Then Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is the right place for you. Here, vastness meets water and relaxation in nature meets vibrant culture.

1. pleasant ±25 degrees

A mild breeze blows gently from the Baltic Sea or the lakes and lures you outside. The air in the vacation destination is pleasantly fresh even in midsummer: ideal conditions for being active and taking a deep breath - without any heat stress.

Whether relaxing Radeln on well-maintained paths along coastlines, lakes and canals, extensive Hikes through shady forests and vast landscapes with spontaneous swimming breaks in between – the water is almost always close by in MV.

Historische Hansestädte invite you to take a leisurely stroll with maritime flair, cafés and small boutiques – perfect for switching off and recharging your batteries.

2. cool events within cool walls

The unique density of around 2.000 magnificent residences, lovingly restored manors and manor houses and extensive parks will not only make the hearts of history buffs beat faster. The cool walls of the architectural treasures are a great place to spend the summer with readings, concerts and festivals.

The Schwerin Castle is the shining highlight and focal point of the relaxed capital of the vacation region, with SUP and boat hire directly in front of the castle as well as theater performances and relaxed picnic concerts in the park. As part of the historic castle ensemble, it has recently been rightly .

3. action kick on the coast and lakes

Whether you want to plunge into gentle waves, challenge the wind while sailing or glide silently over quiet bays with the SUP want to glide silently üover quiet bays – every moment on the water has its magic. And with 2,000 kilometers of coastline and just as many lakes, the magic is there for everyone.

4. networked water wonderland

The water laps rhythmically against the bow of the canoe, birds chatter from the wild shore: on the networked waterways of the vacation destination have a special atmosphere in summer. Here you can simply let yourself drift along or cover kilometers without breaking a sweat. Did you know, for example, that you can paddle from Berlin to Schwerin?

Pssst… With a bit of luck, you might even spot a hunting or discover a kingfisher. Quiet and always surprising.

5. summer in the sand

And in the evening at the latest, everyone is drawn to the water again: strolling along the promenade, the elegant Bäderarchitektur of yesteryear with the beach feeling of today to create a summer vibe all of its own.

A cool drink from the , plenty of space, a fresh breeze in your nose, the horizon that lets you take a deep breath and the sun disappearing behind the Baltic Sea. Summer can be this relaxed.
