Zislow on Lake Plauer See

Enjoy the water – from a beach day to water sports

Motorboating, sailing, windsurfing, rowing and canoeing are all possible on Lake Plauer See. The options range from activities using motorboats to wind and sailing sports, as well as rowing and paddling. If you enjoy spending time by the lake, you can consider which of these water sports suits your holiday. These options are available on Lake Plauer See; they reflect different interests, not a single, uniform offering at every accommodation.

For families with toddlers, Zislow’s natural bathing beach is a particular draw: it has shallow water and a gently sloping shore. These features make the beach suitable for families with young children. A beach day can therefore be a focus of your trip in its own right. When choosing accommodation, you can first decide whether the natural bathing beach and time by the water are among the main reasons for visiting Zislow.

Trails through nature and the landscape

In the “Stemmnitz” nature area, circular walks along the “Path of the Sleeping Stones” or the “Path of the Forest and Tree Spirits” lead to the Zislow observation tower. Even the names of the trails suggest different themes: one refers to stones, the other to forests and trees. Both circular routes lead to the observation tower. This gives you a named destination to include in your day’s plans, together with a walk through the nature area, without needing to assume a particular route length or walking time.

You can also explore the surrounding area by bicycle. Continuous cycle paths run along Lake Plauer See, alongside low-traffic routes and rural farm tracks. This combination gives cyclists a choice of different types of route. Zislow also offers good conditions for horse riding on nature trails. If you like to make your holiday active, you can choose between exploring by bicycle and riding along nature trails, and take these interests into account when choosing where to stay.

Culture and special discoveries

Various cultural events are held at Zislow village church. An exhibition is also on display from the end of June to the end of August. This adds a cultural aspect to your trip planning, alongside activities on the lake and in nature. If you are planning to visit Zislow, these events and the exhibition may be an additional reason to take an interest in the town. The exhibition is available during the stated period.

An unusual feature bears the name of the town: the Zislow cup-marked stone measures 1.7 × 2.1 m and has 116 carved cup marks. Its dimensions and the number of indentations provide a precise description of the stone. It adds a striking individual feature to the landscape and cultural themes. If you are interested in distinctive objects, you can use its name as a point of interest when exploring Zislow.

The harbour is another named place in Zislow: it was redeveloped in 2006. This date provides a specific reference to the harbour’s more recent development without pre-empting other details about its history. Together with its location on the eastern shore of Lake Plauer See, it shows that Zislow is shaped both by its relationship with the water and by nature and culture. When choosing a holiday apartment, it may therefore come down to which of these aspects best suits your planned stay.
