Here you will find a lot of information about the nature reserve north of Alt Schwerin, both about its history and its flora and fauna.

The town hall is the central representative building in the historic town center of the island town and was built between 1818 and 1821. It is a two-story half-timbered building in the neoclassical style with a striking mansard roof and a central balcony. The gray paint of the timber framing makes the building appear as if it were a solid structure. Together with the neighboring former district court from 1881, it forms the administrative center of the town. Both buildings are connected by a modern glass corridor. On the attic of the town hall, there are still preserved prison cells that were used until the 1950s. The building reflects the history of the town and is one of the architectural features of the region. Thus, the town hall is not only an administrative building but also a testament to Malchow's eventful history and an architectural highlight for visitors to the Mecklenburg Lake District.

The view of the lake and the surrounding landscape is simply stunning, perfect for letting your gaze wander far out over the water. A truly beautiful spot. Just stop for a moment and take in the beautiful perspectives. An ideal spot for photos and a short rest. It's worth it!

The view of Lake Plauer See near Lenz is wide and open – a perfect place to enjoy the expanse of the water. From here, you can see across the gently curved bay to the opposite, wooded shores. The shore near Lenz is slightly elevated, so the lake spreads out like a tranquil mirror, often rippled by gentle waves or small boats. On a clear day, the view stretches far across the lake, while the light constantly changes and reflects on the water's surface. Especially in the morning or evening, the scenery is particularly atmospheric – ideal for a photo, a rest, or simply a moment to pause.

A small town worth seeing that is very idyllic due to its location on the Elde. It has a beautifully restored historic old town, a castle museum, the historic lift bridge, a port worth seeing and much more to offer. It is definitely worth taking a long stroll through the town.
