The Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide nature reserve near Cramen is an ideal destination for cycling through pristine nature. Over 250 kilometers of cycle paths offer varied routes through forests, moors, and along clear lakes. A particularly attractive route is from Cramen via the chestnut avenue to the Nossentiner Hütte, offering beautiful views of the Krakower Obersee lake, where sea eagles, cranes, and other waterfowl can be observed. The paths are mostly paved and suitable for all types of bikes. For guided tours, the Karower Meiler Cultural and Information Center and regional providers offer themed bike tours, for example, to "Tree Giants" or "Stone Age Graves." The heath is suitable for both half-day excursions and full-day discovery tours and offers cyclists a variety of opportunities to actively experience Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's nature.

Beautiful area with a wooden lounger. The boulders are described. Some are quickly lost, overgrown with grass, which is a shame.

From the southeastern shore of Lake Malchow, there is an impressive view of the former Malchow Monastery, situated on a small hill on the opposite shore. The striking red brick buildings with their tall church towers dominate the town's panorama and, when the water is calm, are atmospherically reflected in the lake. The former Magdalene Convent, later a Cistercian monastery and finally a noble women's convent, is now an important cultural monument. The viewing point on the lakeshore is easily accessible via the cycling and hiking path and invites you to take a short rest with a view of the historic skyline of Old Malchow.
