Tips from the Community
The water features were created in the late Baroque expansion under court master builder Johann Joachim Busch (around the 1760s) during the time of Duke Friedrich. The park emerged from a small Baroque garden (from 1731/35) and was redesigned into a landscape park by Peter Joseph Lenné from 1852–1860. The fountains are operated exclusively by the natural (and partly artificially created) gradient of the water – without mechanical pumps. This applies to all water features in the park.

When the subtle lighting of the bridge structure reflects in the water of Ostdorfer Lake at dusk, its elegant curve comes into its own. In 2021, the new, impressive cycle bridge between the two peninsulas of Krösnitz and Dwang was officially inaugurated. The steel structure has a total length of 92 meters. The bridge completes the 1.2-kilometer-long new cycle path from southern Dwang to the Krösnitz peninsula. "The nature-oriented tourist cycle route runs on municipal land directly along the shores of Lake Ostorf and Lake Faulen. With unobstructed views of both lakes and the city skyline, it offers a strong attraction for cyclists and pedestrians. The bridge connection creates a link for cyclists between the Hamburg-Rügen long-distance cycle route and the Residenzstädte circular route. https://www.schwerin.de/news/cab63f59-1c77-11ec-b47c-1967de695b51/
