The Faule See is located in the "Schwerin Lake District" nature reserve. The dammed lake, which is considered weakly polytrophic, covers 50 hectares, and its shoreline is 4,052 meters long. The Faule See is located southwest of Lake Schwerin. The shores are partly wooded and part of a public park, making it ideal for a pleasant bike ride. Some of the near-natural shorelines are legally protected biotopes. Schwerin Palace Park is located on the northwest shore. To the southeast, the lake borders Schwerin Zoo. The lake's name was originally "Fuhler See." It probably comes from the word "Fula[n]," which means "foal" (young horse). Accordingly, the name can be translated as "lake on whose shores foals are kept." This interpretation seems logical, since various field names in this area refer to horse breeding. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauler_See_(Schwerin)

A very beautiful single trail. You'll have to endure a few nettles in the summer, but you'll be rewarded with some beautiful scenery. It's also worth stopping to admire the ancient beech trees.

The place is theoretically very nice, but unfortunately, it was extremely littered when we were there. Disgusting. A quick photo and then we moved on. Apparently a popular open-air restroom, so take a look at what it looks like right now.

A HL "look" every 2m. Thanks for that, I wouldn't have noticed it without the 20 highlights set.

Both the view and the lake have already been added as highlights countless times. There's no need to recreate every previous meter and clutter up the komoot map. What a pity to miss out on the real highlights!

In addition to the view of Lake Lankow, you will also find a kiosk with a beer garden, the "Südufer".
