Forming a plateau covered with trees and lakes, the Mecklenburg Lakeland is one of Germany's wildest and most unspoilt regions. Its vast open landscape of pine, beech, alder, birch and ash woodland, peppered with lakes formed during the Ice Age, stretches away as far as the eye can see and is home to a rich variety of birdlife. The area is a paradise for water sports- and walking-enthusiasts as well as for nature-lovers of every hue.
