Tourist Attractions in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania State

The Jagdschloss Granitz in Lancken-Granitz is an attractive neo-Gothic building with corner towers and an observation tower erected in 1836. In contrast to its predecessors this is a four-winged structure. The main tower, designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and including a cast-iron spiral staircase, was added in 1844. The lodge contains a marble chamber, tiled rooms and a hunting museum.

In Wismar Bay, between the morainic hills of the Klützer Winkel in the west (Heidberg, near Grevesmühlen, 113 m/371ft; Hoher Schönberg, 90 m/295ft) and Kühlung in the east (Diedrichshagener Berge, 130 m/425ft), are not only the old Hanseatic town of Wismar but a number of much frequented bathing areas. The most westerly is at Boltenhagen, which became popular in the 19th C. More recently the shallow Wohlenberger Wiek has come into favor. The Salzhaff at Rerik is popular with water sports enthusiasts.
