Lake Müritz

The Müritz is a lake in the northern German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. With a surface area of 117 km2, it ranks as Germany's second-biggest lake and the largest lake wholly contained within German territory. Between the Pomeranian and Frankfurt Stages, during the Weichselian glacial, Lake Müritz was produced. The Mecklenburg Lake District was formerly one large lake that broke up into multiple smaller lakes connected to one another due to a drop in sea level.

Numerous uncommon birds live in the breathtakingly lovely Müritz National Park, which the lake touches on its shore. The Lake Müritz area offers a variety of sights to view and things to do, such as biking or hiking around the lake or swimming or boating in its tranquil waters. The intriguing towns of Mirow, Ankershagen, Röbel, Sietow, and Waren can also be explored by tourists.

Its deepest point is 31 meters. River Elde provides both its source and its exit. The Müritz National Park safeguards a portion of the Müritz as well as the nearby marshes and woodlands. The lake was the inspiration for the former Müritz neighborhood. The Mecklenburg Lake District's two largest towns and key tourist destinations are Waren (Müritz) and Röbel.
