What you ought to see — my picks.
Paradise Way
The Paradise Trail is the perfect destination for those who love cycling, hiking or just exploring. It's a beautiful bike path that takes you through stunning nature and past Krakow Lake. You can also enjoy some of our local food vendors along the way!
Rapunzel Tower
Well, now you can! We have built a tower that is taller than the Statue of Liberty. It's so tall that it even has its own weather system. And it's not just for show - we have an observatory at the top where you can see all the stars and planets in our solar system. You can see it all from your porch or while you stroll through our gardens.
Bathing beach and jetty at the Inselsee
The island lake is perfect for you. It is an idyllic place with a large beach, trees and plenty of space to stretch out. You can swim in the lake or just sit on the shore and watch the boats go by. There are also benches where you can read or enjoy the sun while listening to the birds chirping in the nearby trees.
Drawbridge Bützow-Güstrow Canal
The drawbridge Bützow-Güstrow Canal is a beautiful technical monument of the Bützow-Güstrow Canal, which was opened at the end of 1896. It is an amazing engineering feat that connects two lakes in Germany.
Güstrow, The floating angel in the cathedral
This is Güstrow, and this is what they do. They have a cathedral on which there is a statue of an angel. The angel has such big wings that he can fly through the city without touching the ground. And because he's made of metal, he doesn't rust or rot over time. He just gets more beautiful every year!
St. Mary's Church
The building is in good condition and has been well maintained! Unfortunately I could not visit it because it was locked 😕
