Fünfseen: Lakes, Trails and Nature Destinations
Accommodation in Fünfseen
In Fünfseen, lakes, trails and nature destinations offer practical starting points for active days. The municipality’s leisure activities include hiking, cycling and water sports; its lakes are also ideal for swimming. At Petersdorfer See, a hiking trail leads to Lenzer Strand and in the direction of Malchow. At Kogeler See, a circular trail, along with paths by the shore and through the adjoining forest, shapes the experience of nature. If you are looking for accommodation, these different connections to trails and water can help you base your choice on the activities you have planned.
Hiking Trail and Bathing Spot at Petersdorfer See
The hiking trail along Petersdorfer See leads to Lenzer Strand and in the opposite direction to Malchow. Along the way, it passes the bathing spot at Petersdorfer See. The lake connects Fleesensee and Plauer See. Petersdorf bathing spot is set in a small mixed forest; the car park is not right next to the bathing area. You can therefore take both the trail destinations and the bathing spot into account when planning your stay, but should consider the car park’s location when travelling there.
In Lenz-Süd, cycle and pedestrian paths run along Petersdorfer See to Malchow; in the opposite direction, they lead to the town of Malchow’s nature caravan site. The type of path is therefore another point of reference for your planning: in addition to the hiking trail, cycle and pedestrian paths are mentioned here. If you would like to explore by bike, the paths in Lenz-Süd provide a specific basis for choosing your activities.
Circular Trail and Bird Sanctuary at Kogeler See
At Kogeler See, hiking trails run along the shore and through the adjoining forest. A circular trail invites you to take a walk and linger. The lake and the surrounding forest are part of the European Special Protection Area “Feldmark Massow, Wendisch Priborn und Satow”. There is also a bathing spot at Kogeler See, which is popular with locals and holidaymakers in summer. This area therefore brings together a range of interests: you can explore the lake on foot, take in the forest as part of the landscape, or consider visiting the bathing spot.
More Nature Destinations and a Historic Monument
The observation tower in the extensive waterlogged area in the Stuersches and Rogeezer Becken is a tourist attraction. Another excursion destination is the fallow deer enclosure in Satow-Hütte. Both places add further destinations within the municipality to the lakeside trails, without requiring a specific route.
The former horse stable in Kogel is now a protected monument. It is the only surviving testament to the work of the local noble family. As a former horse stable, the building points to its past use; its protected status and significance as a surviving testament add a distinct historical note to the nature-related attractions.
Boat Landing and Excursion Planning
Near Lenz-Süd is a steamboat landing, considered a starting point for trips to Plau or via Malchow to Waren. Check the operator and seasonal availability before your trip. The boat landing in Petersdorf has existed since at least 1903. As a request stop, it was served by shipping lines offering trips to Malchow or Plau am See. For a specific trip, contact the shipping company. This lets you take the destinations described into account when planning and check in advance which information is relevant to your trip.
