The Nossentiner / Schwinzer Heide Nature Park is located off the beaten track in the largest contiguous forest area in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It is home to some of the most beautiful clear water lakes in Central Europe, which provide a great habitat for white-tailed eagles, cranes and chattering grey geese. In addition to unforgettable nature observations, this sparsely populated area is also a wonderful place to watch the starry sky, as the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide Nature Park is one of the regions with the least light pollution in Germany.
