November 5, 2025, Petermännchen Ferry on Pfaffenteich

The Petermännchen ferry is a small, charming passenger ferry that crosses Schwerin's Pfaffenteich lake and is one of the city's most popular attractions. It's named after the legendary castle ghost Petermännchen, a well-known figure from Schwerin's folklore. The ferry connects the shores of the Pfaffenteich, offering locals and visitors alike a comfortable way to cross the lake while enjoying the beautiful views of the historic old town and the cathedral. The trip takes only a few minutes, but it's a special experience – especially in summer when life around the Pfaffenteich is bustling. The small electric ferry runs regularly between stops and is environmentally friendly, making it a modern yet traditional mode of transport. The Petermännchen ferry is therefore not only a convenient way to cross the Pfaffenteich, but also a piece of Schwerin's character – tranquil, charming, and deeply rooted in the city's history and culture.

The Schwerin Palace Gardens are among the most beautiful gardens in Northern Germany, situated directly on the shores of Lake Schwerin and surrounded by the fairytale-like Schwerin Palace. Designed in the 19th century in the style of an English landscape garden, they impress visitors with their expansive lawns, magnificent flowerbeds, mature tree-lined avenues, and artful water features. Particularly worth seeing are the orangery, the palace bridge, and the numerous sculptures that lend the gardens an elegant flair. The palace gardens invite leisurely strolls and offer picturesque views of the palace and the surrounding lakes – a place where history, art, and nature blend harmoniously.

I have views to the left and right, so I don't need to go to the restaurant. Maybe it's a blast, but other than that, what's the highlight here?

You can quickly cycle around the Pfaffenteich, but you'll be sharing the path with pedestrians. It's quite easy to get along. Where you enter the pedestrian zone, there's outdoor dining with a view of the fountain—nice 😉
