Neustrelitz - Lake District

The Neustrelitz lake district lies between Lake Müritz in the northwest and the Lychen-Templin lakes in the southeast, extending south as far as Mirow and Rheinsberg. The area is drained by the Rhine and the upper Havel.

Landscape

Most of the Neustrelitz lake district is rolling wooded country, ranging in height between 80m/260ft and 120m/390ft, with various valleys containing small lakes. Expanses of heathland and tracts of sandy soil with dunes and plantations of pines alternate with terminal moraines covered with deciduous woodland which bound the lake district on north and south. There are only small patches of agricultural land.
