We were wondering why there was almost no accommodation left in and around Schwerin. Reason was the "Everyone's bike race around the Schwerin lakes". At Hangar 19 marina we got the very last camp space, not perfect, but at least with top sanitary facilities and our own access to the lake. Since we are “stuck” here with the van, we explored Schwerin castle, the park, the old town and the surrounding area on bikes and on foot.
The city is preparing to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Many of the residential buildings appear to have been recently restored or are in the process of being renovated.
We walk around the beautiful castle, located on an island in the lake, and marvel at the building with its almost 1,000-year history from all sides.
The old town is lively. Unfortunately we are denied access to the cathedral due to an event. Schwerin is a real bicycle town with separate bike paths and often two-wheelers have priority over motorized vehicles. Thats how it is suppost to be!
Wow now that's a fancy looking castle!
ReplyDeleteAlmost as pretty as Neuschwanstein in Bavaria.
DeleteEine beeindruckende Seenlandschaft mit tollen Bauwerken zeigst du da, das sieht attraktiv aus. Auch Loki würde sich somit da wohl fühlen :-)
ReplyDeleteLG Werner und Loki
Die Seenlandschaft wäre bestimmt was für Deinen Loki. Er scheint ja doch ein ziemlicher Wasserhund zu sein.
