Plau am See

Sometimes you only need a boat or a bicycle to be at the right time at the right place to discover secrets. It’s even not as far as you may think, and you are always a part of the adventure.Plau am See is well known as a public admitted health resort, directly located at the Müritz-Elde-Wasserstraße and therefore an important connecting link in the largest coherent lake district in Germany. Don’t miss to visit the remarkable points of this medieval fishermen-village as the ancient part of town with the St. Mary Church and the dungeon, the first sluice of the great lakes towards Hamburg, the pedestrian-bridge “Hühnerleiter” and the drawbridge.

In Plau and the villages surrounding people like to live, to celebrate, to play and to enjoy as for example the “Plauer-Music-Summer” with various concerts or the “Badewannenrallye” a very wet water-spectacle.

To discover our lake-area in an extraordinary way we recommend, sailing by ship, who would like to get the best overview should climb the tower of St. Mary and to get the fine taste of modern kitchen should stroll in one of the restaurants of our young cooks of plau-kocht.de.
