Schweriner Schlossschwimmen
Where to stay
Schwerin offers a charming mix of historic guesthouses near the old town and modern lakeside apartments. You will find several boutique hotels situated along the harbor, providing easy access to the water, as well as camping sites located along the northern shores of the lake. Expect to pay between €90 and €160 per night for a standard double room during the summer season, with prices rising slightly for properties with a direct view of the palace island.
Things to do nearby
The weekend is perfect for exploring the Mecklenburg lake landscape. You can rent a kayak or SUP to paddle the perimeter of the palace island, or visit the Schwerin Cathedral to view the site of the medieval pilgrimage. For those interested in regional heritage, the local museums offer insight into the 17th-century conflicts mentioned in local lore. Additionally, the surrounding parklands provide extensive trails for runners and hikers looking to take in the architecture of the 'Neuschwanstein of the North' from the land.
