In memory of my boat trip in Schwerin about a week ago, I'd like to champion the HEROES' MARCH hiking event - circumnavigating Schwerin's lakes: Ziegelsee, Inner Lake, and Outer Lake, in one "ride." Anyone who is able should take on this challenge and enjoy the unique landscape, nature, people, and everything else.

The Hohen Viecheln Church was built around 1310/20 and is a Gothic building without a tower. A parish already existed here in 1178, and there was also a settlement here in the Mesolithic period. Similar to the gravestone of Queen Margaret in Doberan Minster, the "Knight of Hohen Viecheln" was also created as a gravestone, but retained its place on the wall. The gravestone was created in the 14th century.
