What if the vacation not only recharges the battery, but also leaves something lasting behind? Not just memories - but real skills. Welcome to the Skillcation: the vacation that changes you. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is the ideal place for this. Wide waterways, salty air, endless forests, fresh fish - and people who are passionate about their craft. Here are seven skills you'll take home with you.
1. sailing
When the wind carries you
The wind takes to the sails, the boat leans gently — and suddenly you understand what it means to navigate with nature instead of against it. Whether on the quiet lakes of the Mecklenburg Lake District or on the open Bodden: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is sailing country from head to toe. There are courses for beginners and advanced sailors at numerous locations throughout the state. Once you have completed the course, you will read the horizon differently.
2. swimming courses
Safe in the water at last
Clear water, gentle shores, no crowds. With over 1,000 lakes, the Mecklenburg Lake District is the ideal place to learn to swim or refine your technique. Swimming and diving schools in the region offer courses for all age groups - from splashing around for the first time to safe water positioning. Once you get to know the water here, you'll never want to return to the shore.
