This viewpoint is located on a hilltop. There are two benches on the dirt road.

The bike path is excellent...it's easy to climb if you're coming from Schwerin.

But anyone should be able to climb this little hilltop.

Then to Lankower See, where the gastronomy was still in hibernation. Then further past the Oberer Ostorfer See, and also the lower 😃. Another round through the castle garden and …

June 21, 2025,7 Seen-Tour Schwerin

A beautiful tour through Schwerin, where I did my job and graduated 40 years ago, so our tour took us not only past the many lakes but also past the dormitories that no longer exist in Lankow and the former German Postal Service vocational school (communications engineering and postal workers) in Ostorf. You wouldn't believe how hilly it is here. …
