Cycling day trip from Waren to Plau am See

This scenic ride takes you from the vibrant lakeside town of Waren all the way to Plau am See, covering just under 55 km through the heart of Mecklenburg's lake district. You’ll roll out from Waren, a popular spot on the Müritz lake—Germany’s largest body of inland water—perfect for an early visit to the serene Müritz National Park before you spin away.

Most of the route glides over smooth surfaces, mainly paved and asphalt paths, making for a relaxed ride, with hardly any busy roads to contend with. There’s a mellow ascent of around 245 meters, but it’s spread out so nothing too punchy to worry about. Enjoy tranquil stretches along quiet roads and bike paths, with plenty of opportunities to stop and soak up the lake views and sleepy villages dotted along the way.

You’ll arrive in Plau am See, a charming little town perched on its own scenic lake. If you’ve got time, check out the historic lift bridge or kick back by the water for a well-earned lakeside break. All in all, a blissful ride through classic northern German landscapes!
