Müritz National Park

Müritz National Park sits roughly midway between Berlin and Rostock, in the south of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, extending across large parts of the Müritz lakeland in the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district. Founded in 1990, it covers 318 square kilometres. Visitors can get information at the Müritzeum near the town of Waren. This is lake and forest country on a scale that is unusual in Germany, hundreds of bodies of water, cranes and sea eagles among them, and most of it best reached by bike or by boat.
