Great beach, quiet atmosphere, no crowds or tourists like on many other Baltic Sea beaches. Shallow water and fine sand. Drinks are available at the kiosk and food can be found at the campsite in the Oasis. If you want a beach, this is the right place.

The cycle path around the northern tip of the lake is a sandy track at this point and up to the fish snack bar in Bad Kleinen. It's difficult to ride even in dry weather and should be avoided during or after rain, unless you're on a mountain bike...

A well-maintained beach with a sweeping view of the water. Food and drink are available at the mini-golf course or at the campsite (which also houses the Oase restaurant). The "Zierow Strand" bus stop is approximately 200 meters from the beach. A bus to Wismar departs every hour (30 minutes to the central bus station).

Somehow, I don't understand such highlights. This HL is supposed to describe the entire circuit around Schwerin's Outer Lake? For example, from Seehof to Seehof? And what's along the way for 35 km? There are tons of HLs. Komoot rule... Don't set tours as HLs. By the way, on the other side of the Outer Lake... Loose, powdered sand without end...almost only accessible by mountain bike.
