   Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
     Capital: Schwerin
    Area: 23,170 km2
    Population: 1.8 million

This area is picturesque with its 210 miles of coastline with numerous inlets surrounded by steep cliffs, beaches and several Islands - Usedom, Hiddensee, and Rügen with elevations up to 525 feet. Fifteen percent of this land is made up of natural reserves making it uniquely diverse. The wonderful moderate climate offers clear, salty air, soft breezes and many hours of sunshine to pamper visitors searching for true rest and relaxation.

Pomerania's western capital city of Schwerin dates back to 1018 with its Schwerin Cathedral, regarded as one of the best known examples of Gothic brick architecture in Baltic Sea region. The castle and museum with surrounding gardens are lovely. A rich wealth of water and woodland, cultural treasures rich in tradition and fascinating architecture give the State capital of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the second oldest city east of the Elbe, its character.


The great attraction of the state capital is Schwerin Castle. The city's emblem is set in a picturesque location on the banks of Schwerin Lake, Germany's third largest lake.

 Rügen, Germany's largest and possibly most beautiful island, has offered vacationers and bathers a perfect paradise for over a hundred years. Several seaside resorts offer tourists spa resorts, fishing villages, breath taking white sandy beaches as well as hiking and biking trails which lead into practically untouched natural environment.
