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.

+/- 720 hours of sunshine in summer

More than 700 hours of sunshine from June to August and a mild breeze on the Baltic Sea and the lakes will entice you outside. Even in midsummer, the air in the vacation destination is pleasantly fresh. Ideal conditions for being active and taking a deep breath.

Whether relaxing Radfahren on well-developed paths along the coast, lakes and canals or extensive Wanderungen through shady forests and vast landscapes with spontaneous swimming breaks in between – the water is almost always close by in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

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.

And with 2,000 kilometers of coastline and just as many lakes, the magic is there for everyone.

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.

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.
