Mecklenburgische Seenplatte und Ostseestrände laden ein

mecklenburg vorpommern 04

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern liegt im Norden von Deutschland, umgeben von den Bundesländern Brandenburg und Schleswig-Holstein und der Ostsee. Im Osten grenzt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern an Polen. Die Region ist bekannt für ihre historischen Seebäder, Herrenhäuser und Schlösser und Naturparks.

Die Landeshauptstadt Schwerin ist die zweitgrößte und älteste Stadt in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Die Stadt liegt am Süd-Westufer des Schweriner Sees, in wald- und seenreicher Umgebung.

Die Mecklenburger Seenplatte und die Ostsee-Inseln Usedom, Rügen und Fischland-Darß-Zingst zählen zu den schönsten Orten. Auch die Hansestädte Greifswald, Stralsund, Rostock, Schwerin und Wismar sind absolut sehenswert.

Die Altstädte der Hansestädte Stralsund und Wismar wurden nach der Wende liebevoll saniert und in Teilen originalgetreu wieder aufgebaut. Diese Mühen belohnte die UNESCO und erklärte beide Altstädte zum Weltkulturerbe.

Nicht so überlaufen sind das Seebad Schönberg. Strandruhe und Aktiverlebnisse zwischen Brasilien, Kalifornien und der Kieler Fördeund das Seebad Pelzerhaken. Die paradiesischen Strände des Hawaiis der Ostsee in der Lübecker Bucht. ...

Typische Gerichte der vielseitigen Region an der Ostsee sind Fischgerichte wie Räucherfisch oder Matjes. Auch Wild- und Geflügelgerichte wie Ente, Gans und Wildschwein sind sehr beliebt. In der vegetarischen Küche spielen regionale Gemüsesorten wie Grünkohl, Rote Bete und Sellerie eine wichtige Rolle.
