Mecklenburg Vorpommern - More than just a holiday destination

I

Mecklenburg Vorpommern is a beautiful place in Germany... I hear that all the time. And I can only confirm: It's true! Did you know that MV is the only federal state in Germany that has recorded double-digit growth rates in tourism since the turn of the millennium, and that the country became the most popular domestic travel destination for the first time in 2014 and again in 2015?
That the country is crossed by rivers and canals with a total length of more than 26,000 km and has the most diverse and unique lake and water landscapes in Germany with over 2,028 lakes and a total area of 738 square kilometers. The lake landscape is popular for water tourism. Houseboats, canoes, etc. can be rented almost everywhere and shape the traffic on the water. The largest of the over 2,000 lakes is the Müritz.
The two largest islands in MV are Usedom and Rügen, which are also the largest islands in Germany. Another one is Poel, which is the third largest in the country and the seventh largest in Germany. The most important peninsula is Fischland - Darß - Zingst with its wonderful nature reserves and bird watching areas. The most famous inland island in the country is the old town island of Malchow in the Malchower See in the Mecklenburg Lake District.
Germany has the highest percentage of vacation homes and apartments per area. You can find hundreds of particularly good and selected holiday homes and apartments in Mecklenburg Vorpommern on the travel portal MeinReiseglück. Maybe as a plan for a vacation in beautiful 'MeckPomm'. In addition, many resorts and hotels have been built in recent years. At the most beautiful spots on the coast and in the lake district.
Three of the sixteen German national parks are located in MV and the impressive 2,000 km of coastline offers plenty of space for thousands of visitors on many sandy beaches.

The climate is continental - cool moderate and shaped by the maritime influence of the Baltic Sea in the coastal area.

In MV there are more than two thousand manor houses, castles, and palaces that are used, among other things, for cultural events or as a hotel. In rural areas, there are many other sights such as historical village centers, churches, monasteries, windmills, lighthouses, traces of Slavic settlements, monuments, and viewpoints.
Major companies in the maritime sector include the globally active German Seereederei Scandlines, the white fleet, and the AIDA shipping company, which has its headquarters in Rostock. It employs over 6,000 employees. Warnemünde with its former large port and up to 6 cruise ships is the busiest cruise port in Germany. The Teepott and the lighthouse in Warnemünde are world-famous. Rügen's annual Störtebeker Festival, the Rasender Roland, and the chalk cliffs are landmarks of the island. Usedom's Peenemünde with its U-boat museum and a new promenade to Swinemünde are crowd pullers. Heiligendamm, the white city by the sea, Schwerin, the city of seven lakes and the capital of the state residence, and the Meeresmuseum in Stralsund... And much more 'sea'.

So, as you can see, Mecklenburg Vorpommern is more than just a holiday destination.

A MeckPommer by passion.
