Müritz National Park

At the north end of Lake Müritz, around Waren, are a number of smaller lakes (the Binnenmüritz, the Tiefwarensee, the Feisnecksee), separated from it by narrow strips of land. Round its northeast and east sides are other lakes (the Rederangsee, the Specker See, etc.). All of these are now included within the Müritz National Park (area 310sq.km/120sq.mi), established in 1990, notable for the large numbers of rare birds (cranes, white-tailed eagles, ospreys) which nest here.
