The bike path between Karow and Altschwerin was completed a few days ago, and we were able to ride it today. This saves us the walk past the campsite and through the meadows. Before we reached Malchow, we had to try out the toboggan run. In Malchow, we admired the swing bridge and the monastery.

By boat across the lake from Plau to Malchow. Nice at the pier, look at the swing bridge, eat ice cream, look at the boats...
But then the route back to Plau unfortunately very much on the road! Only at the end are there again small paths that are forgiving

...finally sunshine again 🌞
That's tempting to finally go for a little bike ride.
Malchow was our destination. 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️
A small town, a large cathedral, an interesting swing bridge, and a great Italian restaurant invite you to linger.
We passed the raised bog, the Agroneum, and couldn't resist using the new bike path 🙈😅...
