Houseboat adventure: cruising the Mecklenburg way

Cruising the Mecklenburg way: simply rent a houseboat, weigh anchor - and enjoy the great freedom of the Lake District

Micha already has the boat out on the canal. Easy, as if he had maneuvered a car out of a parking space. Not that he's an expert. He doesn't have to be, because everyone manages to be houseboat captains. The mood on board is great as Micha steers the boat out onto the Müritz. The sun is shining and the great little houseboat adventure on the Mecklenburg Lake District can begin.

Switch to a stand-up paddleboard

The motto for Micha and his four friends: get out of the city and into nature. Off the asphalt, onto the water. Away from the noise, into the silence. A little escape from the stress of university and the daily grind. Chill out. Do what you feel like doing without anyone coming and getting on your nerves. That's not possible out here in the "Land of 1000 Lakes". And should one of the friends need a bit of distance from the happy bunch: there are two SUP boards for extra tours. And an inflatable boat.
 
So much water, so many possibilities: Micha and his friends are spoiled for choice. On the board, in the water or on the sun deck? Playing cards, reading a book or gazing at the clouds? And what should they eat in the evening? What to drink? Oh, maybe just buy a layer of fish sandwiches and a beer as a sundowner today.

When the red sun sinks into the Müritz

One thing is certain: the evening is the most beautiful moment on the houseboat. When the sun has set, the wind dies down and the air feels like velvet. It has become so quiet on the Müritz that you can hear the fish jumping out of the water. The call of the little cats on the shore. And the calm, relaxed beating of your own heart, that too.
