Discover Kargow: audio-play church and nature watching
Accommodation in Kargow
Kargow in the source region of the Havel and Peene rivers
Kargow lies in the source region of the Havel and in the source region of the Peene. These two river connections give the town a clear geographical setting. They also point to a nature-focused theme for planning your trip.
Culture and nature in Federow, excursions from Schwarzenhof
The season at the audio-play church in Federow begins in summer. If you would like to include this cultural attraction in your plans, the start of the season can serve as a useful timing guide. Ospreys can be watched live at the information center in Federow. The audio-play church provides a seasonal highlight, while the osprey watching offers a specific nature experience tied to the location.
Schwarzenhof is a starting point for many interesting excursions. Unlike the specific attractions in Federow, the focus here is on outings. If you like to organize your trip around possible day activities, this role as a starting point helps put Kargow in context. The local points of interest thus differ: Federow is associated with culture and wildlife watching, while Schwarzenhof is a base for excursions.
Nature experiences in the Mecklenburg Lake District
Müritz National Park is part of the Mecklenburg Lake District and is characterized by forests, bogs, lakes, and wide meadows. The Müritz National Park hiking trail takes in the park’s landscape types and distinctive features over nine stages. It passes lakes, winds through ancient forests, goes by inland dunes, and leads to the source of the Havel. Its nine stages make the trail a multi-part experience and give exploring nature a clear structure.
Certified nature and landscape guides offer informative tours through Müritz National Park. These include tours in the UNESCO World Heritage beech forest of Serrahn and trips from the water. Unlike the hiking trail’s staged structure, these tours focus on learning with a guide. The forest and the water offer different thematic approaches. You can choose between a route divided into stages and a guided nature tour depending on whether you value the route’s structure or learning from nature and landscape guides more.
Another example in the Mecklenburg Lake District is the Damerower Werder European bison reserve. It is located on a peninsula in Lake Kölpin and in Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heath Nature Park. Visitors can observe European bison there. The reserve also has a forest discovery trail with climbing features, an anthill house, an exhibition with tactile and visual panels, and a dendrophone. Here, wildlife watching is combined with a variety of experiences in the forest. Unlike the national park hiking trail, the reserve focuses on European bison and the forest discovery trail, while the route takes visitors through landscapes in nine stages.
Water touring offers a different perspective on the Mecklenburg Lake District. From Neustrelitz Town Harbor, water tourers can explore MĂĽritz National Park and the Strelitz Small Lakes via the Upper Havel Waterway. Compared with the MĂĽritz National Park hiking trail, this offers a different way to explore: from the water rather than along a route divided into nine hiking stages.
Another point of interest in the Mecklenburg Lake District is the Rechlin Aviation Technology Museum in Rechlin Nord. It complements the region’s nature, hiking, and water touring attractions with a museum devoted to aviation technology.
