The trail runs between Lenz and the Malchow Nature Camp and leads through ancient beech forests along the eastern shore of Lake Plau. The path, narrow in places, runs partly directly along the lake and partly slightly elevated. It is natural, technically moderately difficult, and ideal for mountain bikes or gravel bikes. Roots and short climbs provide variety, and there are always magnificent views over the lake. This route is ideal for cyclists seeking a combination of athletic challenge and enjoyment of nature. The proximity to the lake and the passage through the beech forest make it a special experience in the Mecklenburg Lake District.

A view of Lake Plau from the jetty on a clear, sunny day. The water is gently rippling, stretching in shades of blue to the horizon. The narrow wooden jetty leads straight into the water, reinforcing the feeling of spaciousness and tranquility. The gentle shorelines and wooded areas can be seen on the horizon. Just take a moment to pause and capture the stunning perspectives.

It's great fun to ride there. Always watch out for oncoming traffic and pedestrians. It's best to go for a fully equipped bike. Not for inexperienced e-bikers.

Well... the Lenzer Krug is in a wonderful location - you can sit on the terrace... but the service is lackluster... the advertised plum cake was more like a sheet cake that was far too sweet with a few plums... at least the coffee was good... in summary: you can do it, but you can also leave it.
