Mecklenburg Lake District: Search for overnight stays!

Neustrelitz, Deutschland - In the idyllic region of Mecklenburg Lake District, the heart of the pilgrimage beats. According to Nordkurier, over 1000 pilgrims have used the local pilgrimage path since 2014. Every year, an average of 100 hiking enthusiasts dare on the 230 kilometer route, which starts from Friedland only around the picturesque Tollensesee and finally ends in Mirow. The route, marked with the well -known yellow shell on a blue background, offers just the right degree of seclusion and relaxation, without having to fly to Santiago de Compostela.

Felicitas Rohde-Schaeper, pilgrim companion in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, takes care of the pilgrims with a lot of commitment. She heads the pilgrimage route and has had its own pilgrimage quarters for 14 years, which houses 10 to 15 guests every year. In addition to the offer of a neighborhood, Rohde-Schaeper also helps with route planning and the search for accommodation. In doing so, she realizes that there are no accommodation between Fürstenberg and Mirow, over places such as Priepert, Drosedow and Diemitz. Above all, pilgrims are looking for simple and affordable accommodations, for example in the form of mattresses in the house or a tent in the garden with existing toilet and washing facilities.

The way for every pilgrim

The pilgrimage path is well suited for both beginners and experienced hikers and divides into the west and east route in Neubrandenburg. The west route leads over Neustrelitz, while the Ost route runs partly through the Müritz National Park and via Fürstenberg. The goal, Mirow, is located south of the Müritz. A special feature is the expansion of the path in 2023, which enables the connection to the big pilgrimage paths to Santiago de Compostela.

The hiking stages are ideal for shorter pilgrimage tours and are in the range of 13 to 20 kilometers per day. Pilgrims can enjoy the stages splendidly, with some sections easily accessible by train. This makes it possible to go on a journey at the weekend and to gain profound experiences. Despite the picturesque landscape, not all sections are blessed with shops; Therefore, it is advisable to provide provisions in good time. Also with regard to the mobile phone network, one or the other section has its pitfalls - offline cards are therefore a good idea.
