Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Waren (Müritz) lies directly on the shore of the Müritz; at the same time, the Müritz National Park borders the town. These two landscape features give the town a clear framework for planning a trip. There are also institutions and buildings that focus on nature, local history and regional craft traditions. This lets you shape your stay around water, nature and culture, rather than trying to squeeze different themes into a single itinerary.

Water, Nature and Trails

The Müritzeum in Waren (Müritz) is a nature experience centre with Germany’s largest aquarium landscape for native freshwater species. It offers a distinct focus alongside the lake and Müritz National Park: the Müritzeum centres on native freshwater life.

Passenger boat trips on the Müritz include short cruises around the lake and day trips with time ashore. This gives you two different options: a cruise on the water or a day trip that includes a stay on land. If you are planning a boat trip for a particular day, check in advance which option is available for your date.

Waren (Müritz) and the surrounding region can be explored on guided or independent tours on foot, by bike or on the water. You can therefore take both your preferred way of getting around and whether you want a guided or independent experience into account. Hiking options range from a short 9 km route to a 907 km multi-day hike. These two figures represent very different undertakings—from a short route to a hike lasting several days.

City History and Buildings

Since 1998, the Waren City History Museum has been housed in the town’s historic town hall at Neuer Markt. The Old Tile Pottery in Waren (Müritz) is a former tile pottery preserved in its original condition. It displays numerous tiles and tools used to make them. The focus is therefore on both the tiles and the tools associated with their production.

St. Marien Church also brings together several historical building phases: it incorporates the remains of a castle chapel built before 1225, as well as a nave built before 1333 in the Brick Gothic style. Since 1995, its tower has had a viewing platform at a height of 45 m. It is reached via a staircase with 176 steps. If you plan to visit the platform, check the latest visitor information in advance.

Fish and Regional Cuisine

Waren (Müritz) offers freshly smoked fish straight from the smoker on board every day, freshly prepared fish dishes and fish sandwiches. The area, rich in water and forests, influences the regional cuisine. This adds a culinary dimension to the excursion and cultural options, which you can also take into account when planning your stay.
