Uckermark

Land: Brandenburg

The Uckermark - the area around Prenzlau, Angermünde and Templin, extending on both sides of the river Uecker between the upper Havel and the lower Oder - is a tract of partly wooded and partly open farming country, with numerous lakes. The name ("Mark" is "march" or "borderland") reflects its situation on the borders between the historic territories of Brandenburg, Mecklenburg and Pomerania.
