Both the view and the lake have already been added as highlights countless times. There's no need to recreate every previous meter and clutter up the komoot map. What a pity to miss out on the real highlights!

Equestrian Statue of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II (Schwerin Palace Garden)

Highlight • Monument

After the death of the popular Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II - the builder of the castle in Schwerin - his son commissioned the construction of a monumental statue. The object was financed through donations. It is considered the only historical equestrian statue in all of Mecklenburg.

The work of the Mecklenburg sculptor Ludwig Brunow was ceremoniously unveiled in 1893 - in the presence of high-ranking state guests such as Emperor Wilhelm II and Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia, as well as everyone who was of rank and name in the Mecklenburg court nobility. Inspired by the equestrian statues of Roman emperors and the Prussian Elector in Berlin, it was designed according to the typical, mostly military-influenced taste of the late 19th century. The figures of the Grand Duke and his horse stand on a marble base more than 4 m high.

The base is surrounded by allegories of the 4 ruler virtues: strength, justice, wisdom and faith. Two commemorative plaques show events from the reign of Friedrich Franz II - the construction of the new university building in Rostock and the Grand Duke's arrival in Schwerin in 1871.

The monument survived two wars and two dictatorships with great luck. It escaped being melted down for war purposes, the iconoclasm after the end of the war and being scrapped.

Schwerin Castle

Highlight • Castle

This magnificent jewel is located directly on Lake Schwerin. Schwerin Castle is certainly one of the most beautiful in Germany. I couldn't decide which side is the prettiest. Whether at sunset from the lake side or with the beautifully landscaped castle park in the foreground. After the walk, you can also visit the fairytale castle from the inside as part of a guided tour.

Opening times castle museum:
April 14th to October 13th
Tuesday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m

October 14th to April 13th
Tuesday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m

It feels like an eternity since I last sat on the saddle. Thanks to temperatures finally in the double digits, I jumped on my bike today to do a little lap. I also wanted to find out what became of the construction site at the Störkanal.

Today's goal was a visit to Schwerin Castle. So we went by bike to the castle in Schwerin. There you paid the entrance fee of €8.50 plus €2.00 for the audio guide and you could already visit the rooms. The audio guide tour lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. You learn a lot about the relations between the Mecklenburg princes …

Today was the first time I went cycling in Schwerin. The absolute highlight was Schwerin Castle. Anyone who visits Mecklenburg-Vorpommern should definitely visit this building. Now I hope that the weather gets better so that you can really enjoy cycling again. 🚲🏞️
