A green and delightful landscape extends between the River Elbe, the beaches of the Baltic Sea, and the Mecklenburg Lake District. Untouched and diverse, this area is surprisingly close to the major cities of Hamburg and Berlin. Here, nature takes center stage: at times, you can hear the rustling of leaves in the forest, and sometimes, the swaying of corn in the fields. Water is abundant everywhere – in form of lakes, rivers and the sea. The scenery is adorned with magnificent castles and charming old towns.
