I found it rather mediocre to ride (tours e-bike), but it is very beautiful there and there is a lot to see.

One of several observation towers on the lakes of the Schaalsee Biosphere Reserve. From here you have a wonderful view of the lake and the surrounding area.

The long, rolling hills are not to be underestimated when riding an e-bike, but they are beautiful nonetheless.

The Schaalsee is nestled within the biosphere reserve of the same name and, at over 70 meters deep, is considered Northern Germany's deepest clearwater lake. Those who wish to swim here should only do so at designated areas—for example, in Dargow, Lassahn, Seedorf, or at the Zarrentin lido. The water quality is excellent, perfect for a refreshing dip on the go. The protected natural environment surrounding the lake is rich in species and tranquil—ideal for those who appreciate peace, clean air, and clear water. The beer and coffee garden is a pleasant place to relax.
