⛵✨ Around the Zwischenahner Meer, there are numerous places where you can sit on a bench and enjoy the wide view over the water. Many of the benches in the Kurpark area are accessible. As the circular path around the lake (approx. 12 km) runs almost everywhere directly along the shore, you'll find a place to sit every few hundred meters.
