Boat rental in the Mecklenburg Lake District

Boating in the Mecklenburg Lake District

The Mecklenburg Lake District is a maze of lakes, rivers and short canals around the Müritz, ideal for slow cruising on a motorboat or houseboat. Days pass from lake to lake through locks and reed-lined channels, with stops in small harbour towns and quiet anchorages.

Where to go by boat

• Müritz

  The largest lake lying entirely within Germany, wide open water bordered by a national park.

• Waren (Müritz)

  Lively harbour town on the northern shore of the Müritz.

• Plau am See

  Small town at the western end of the lakes, by the Plauer See.

• Mirow

  Lakeside town with a baroque palace on a castle island.

Tip: Motorboats up to 15 hp can generally be driven without a licence here, and with a charter certificate issued after a thorough briefing you can skipper certain charter boats on designated waters; ask your charter company which applies to your boat.
