Cycling day trip from Waren to Malchow

Set off on a lovely ride from Waren (Müritz), right on the shore of Germany’s largest lake. Waren is a chilled-out town known for its lakeside promenade and bustle of little cafes—perfect for a pre-ride coffee! The route to Malchow is about 28 km, taking you through the scenic Mecklenburg Lake District.

Most of your ride is on quiet roads and smooth asphalt, with a few sections on paths or tracks that give you a bit of adventure without too much challenge. There’s just enough ascent (around 137 meters total) to keep things interesting, but nothing too strenuous. Watch for great views of lakes and rolling countryside along the way.

Malchow, your finish, is famous for its charming “island old town” and historic swing bridge. Treat yourself with a stroll along its marina or grab some cake at a waterside café. This route is perfect for riders looking for a relaxed day out in the heart of nature, with just a bit of Mecklenburg’s laid-back lakeside charm at both ends.
