Seven reasons for a houseboat vacation in autumn

1. price advantage

Autumn is the perfect time to try out houseboating. This is when prices are much lower compared to the high season in summer and there are fewer people out and about on the waters of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern by houseboat at this time of year. And the fun of maneuvering, navigating and taking a break on the houseboat is the same.

2. stay spontaneous

In contrast to summer, there are also opportunities to rent a houseboat in the fall for spontaneous vacation planning. Normally, floating vacation homes are fully booked months in advance, but in September and October, short-term rentals of three or four nights can also be arranged without any problems. Ahoy, long weekend.

3rd pole position in the marinas

In autumn, houseboat berths in the front row are almost guaranteed and therefore the most beautiful view of nature in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern from the private sun deck.

4. swimming allowed

Nothing stands in the way of water lovers jumping off the boat, even in an older month. The numerous beaches are less frequented and their shallow entry points are ideal for children.
You can then warm up again on the heated houseboats.

5. endless excursions

There is plenty of choice. Starting with exploring monasteries, churches and castles, autumn is of course perfect for hiking and cycling - and don't forget to take a deep breath! Examples of what to do? How about Mirow Castle or Rheinsberg? Discover the Müritzeum in Waren or Albert Einstein's summer house in Caputh. The Müritz forest in the south of Lake Plau and endless circular tours in the 322-square-kilometre Müritz National Park also offer plenty of variety from boat life.

6. natural spectacles

Mystical fog banks over the lake, leaf coloration and mirror-smooth lakes in the calm of the morning and evening hours are a feast for the senses and have maximum recreational value. The migration of cranes at the beginning of October is also a true spectacle of nature. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania alone, up to 70,000 animals rest on their way to the south. Several thousand pairs have now also settled in the region, delighting bird lovers at any time of year.

7th Petri Heil

The predatory fish season begins in September. Fierce pike, strong carp and large schools of perch delight anglers. The best chance of success in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is from a houseboat, which is a wonderful way to reach hidden bays between dense reed beds and rustic forests. If you only want to cast a rod while on vacation, you can purchase a fishing license from the tourist offices.
