Kritzow: Cycling Routes, Lake and Megalithic Tomb
Accommodation in Kritzow
Kritzow offers several ways to plan your trip: you can focus on cycling routes, set aside time at Lake Kritzow, or include the megalithic tomb in Schlemmin Forest as a cultural and historical destination. The places and routes described appeal to different interests, from cycling to spending time by the water. So consider what you would like your stay to focus on.
Cycling routes around Kritzow
Cycling Route 4, “Daschow,” is about 40 kilometres long and passes through Benzin, Kritzow and Schlemmin. This makes it a longer route option for anyone who would like to explore by bicycle. The approximate length helps you fit the route into your daily plans; it is not an exact distance. The place names listed also provide orientation along the route, without specifying a particular length of stay.
One more detailed section runs from Benzin to Kritzow via an oak avenue. If you are interested in this part, you can consider the oak avenue a distinctive feature of the route description. The ADFC Cycling Route No. 10 also passes through the municipality of Kritzow in the direction of Lake Plau. This is another point of reference for cyclists; based on this information, the two routes cannot be described as connected.
Lake Kritzow near Schlemmin
Lake Kritzow covers 65 hectares. Its shoreline is about 7,300 metres long. These measurements describe two different aspects of the lake: its area and the approximate length of its shoreline. If you are planning time by the water, they give you a concrete sense of the lake’s size without indicating a particular walking distance along the shore.
There is a natural bathing spot on the lake in the village of Schlemmin. A 50-metre beach or shore section is also designated there. This figure refers to that designated section, not the entire shoreline of the lake. You can make a visit to the lake a focus of your trip and distinguish between the bathing spot and the other described ways to enjoy the water.
Rowboats and time by the water
Lake Kritzow in the village of Schlemmin is navigable by rowboat, and rowboats can also be hired there. This gives you another way to experience the lake, in addition to the bathing spot. If you would rather be out on the water, you can include this in your choice of activities.
A megalithic tomb in Schlemmin Forest
A megalithic tomb is located in Schlemmin Forest, within the municipality of Kritzow. It adds a cultural and historical element to the nature and cycling themes. If you are interested in early evidence of human history, you can make the tomb a destination in its own right. Together with the cycling route, the lake and the bathing spot, it shows that Kritzow can be explored in more than one way: you can focus your trip on activity, water or history.
