July 30, 2025, Malchow Windmill

A bike ride to the Malchow town windmill is worthwhile in every respect: Built around 1843, this gallery-style windmill has been lovingly restored and impresses with its large, approximately 24-meter-long wind turbine. Visitors can enjoy exhibitions on mill technology, regional history, and the mill's own restoration work on several floors. The mill is not only a technical monument but also a cultural meeting place—especially during the annual Mill Festival on Whit Monday.

The restaurant "Der Insulaner" in Malchow is an excellent recommendation for a stop during a bike ride. It is located directly on the historic swing bridge with a stunning view of Lake Malchow and offers a spacious outdoor terrace, which is particularly popular in good weather. The kitchen serves classic German dishes with seasonal specialties. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service friendly, making the restaurant a pleasant stop for cyclists. The restaurant is also part of a hotel, making it particularly convenient for longer stays or as a starting point for tours. Anyone looking for an enjoyable break with a beautiful view will find what they are looking for here.

Magnificent! The view of Lake Plau is expansive, tranquil, and impressive. From the shore, a panorama opens up over the clear, often slightly shimmering water, stretching to the horizon. In good weather, the sky is reflected in the water's surface, while the rolling hills of the lake district can be seen in the distance – a peaceful scene that invites you to take a deep breath.
