Somehow, I don't understand such highlights. This HL is supposed to describe the entire circuit around Schwerin's Outer Lake? For example, from Seehof to Seehof? And what's along the way for 35 km? There are tons of HLs. Komoot rule... Don't set tours as HLs. By the way, on the other side of the Outer Lake... Loose, powdered sand without end...almost only accessible by mountain bike.
