The picturesque little town of Röbel/Müritz, located directly on Germany's largest inland lake, offers idyllic scenery, history, the abundance of nature, and a wide range of recreational opportunities. Lovingly restored to their original, colorful appearances, half-timbered houses, gardens and parks, as well as one of the most beautiful lakeside promenades in the state, reflect the friendly, colorful character of this small town and the gently rolling, diverse landscape of the Mecklenburg Lake District in which it is nestled. It is also affectionately called the "colorful town by the little sea." https://www.mecklenburgische-seenplatte.de/regionen-und-orte/roebel-mueritz
