September 20, 2021,Menzlin; MV: zu den Bibern u Wikingern
Visit to the early burial ground near Menzlin in the district of Anklam MV
The circular route leads through Biberland on the Peenestrom.

On the way back we made a short stop, recommended by Komoot. The route is not spectacular. The highlight was the millions of mosquitoes that attacked us...
The refreshing drink at the canoe rental would probably have tasted better if it had been chilled.

If you want to admire beaver activity, you should head towards Anklam. They have now become a nuisance there... On the Peene near Menzlin you can rent a canoe, go on a raft trip or hike on the circular path.

Furthermore, in the magnificent landscape of the Peene Valley, one can observe numerous animals: swans, geese, …
