At first glance, a boring way, but very good to drive, because as well as no car bothers you and you always have a wonderful view of Lake Malchin.

Dahmer Canal

Highlight (Segment) • River

Good to travel on the NSG Kalk-Zwischenmoor Wendischhagen. The route is leveled or partially paved and is no problem. Abbreviation, if you do not want to drive into the lake bypass to Malchin.

Old Sheep Barn, Basedow

Highlight • Restaurant

Nice place for a Radelpause, whether with the road bike or touring bike. Was visited by us on our tour: "Around Lake Malchiner - Grand Castle Round" visited.

Basedow Castle

Highlight • Castle

Very beautiful and picturesque castle in the middle of the village Basedow. A beautiful gem (and once fully restored...). The castle is also surrounded by a well-tended park. And there are some cafes nearby with a view of the castle.

Basedow Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The village church is an imposing building that you wouldn't really expect in this area. The church is located on Schloßstraße and is not far from the castle.
A visit to the church is definitely worthwhile. The opening times are as follows: 01.05. - 31.10: Tuesday to Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
For me personally, the altarpiece is the highlight of the church.


- why they have created several highlights for one and the same thing is a mystery to me, as it is completely unnecessary! -

Observation Tower at Malchiner See

Highlight • Viewpoint

Biking or hiking trail through the bird sanctuary and swamp area west of Lake Malchin. The way is great to drive. There are always points that you have to stop to admire the beautiful nature. Strengths can be in Dahmen directly with the fisherman or in the beer garden in the country hotel Schorssow.

Lake Haussee and Schorssow

Highlight • Lake

In Schorssow there is a nice country hotel, but also an expensive castle hotel.
Nice location on Lake Haussee, not far from Lake Malchiner.

May 2, 2025,Rund um den Malchiner See
Today's tour took us around Lake Malchin, but unfortunately, it was always quite a distance away. For inexperienced cyclists (not e-bike riders), there were a few climbs. We also encountered an unfamiliar headwind. We rode part of the route on the L20.
As a reward, we finished with coffee and delicious cake at the café at Basewow Castle.

Cycling tour 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴 with friends. A leisurely stroll, with visits to the highlights along the way: the perfectly restored Bristow village church💒 with its remarkable altar and organ (you can play it if you can), the Bristow estate🏰, Basedow Castle🏰, the "Schafstall" café☕️🍰 located there (many other top restaurants, a landscaped park, and more).
To round things off, we visit …

This is how one imagines the original Western Pomerania. Quiet, wide, with water everywhere, historic buildings, bumpy village streets - pure nature.

Today it was about the Malchiner See. First of all, during the tour you don't really drive directly along the lake. But through a great Mecklenburg field, forest and meadow landscape (and from time to time you also get to see the lake). The many small towns and villages around the lake are also nice to look at.

Beautiful autumn tour around Lake Malchin, past castles and churches. We started in thick fog, but the sun eventually ate it away and then we even saw the lake. The scenery was very beautiful, up and down... terminal moraine landscape. In Basedow you should definitely stop off at the Old Sheep Barn, where they serve home-cooked food and homemade cakes …

From Schorssow Castle, we cycled around Lake Malchin. It was a great ride, except for the fact that the bike path ended and we had to continue on the road. But only briefly, and then the bike path was perfect again.
