Reed house on the beach of Lake Plau with conservatory and terrace

Our Schilfhaus is lovingly furnished in a clean, simple country style. The house, which accommodates 2–6 people, is a detached, quiet property located in the western part of the spacious garden (approx. 3,000 square meters), just a few steps from our private beach. The private covered terrace is furnished with teak furniture. Due to the gentle slope leading down to the lake, a few small stone steps lead down to the water. Nature is always within arm’s reach. Look forward to a vacation in the Land of a Thousand Lakes. Look forward to virtually untouched nature. To ensure you feel completely at home, we offer bike rentals and a bike garage, a boat mooring, table tennis, giant chess, and boat rentals (Canadian canoes, fishing boats). The bike path runs right past the property. Our lakeside retreat promises the joys of nature in every season and is ideal for hikers, nature lovers, anglers, and water sports enthusiasts. The Fischer passenger ferry is 1.5 km away; the Alt-Schwerin museum village with its village shop is nearby; the Fischer restaurant is about 1 km away; Malchow is about 7 km away; Plau am See is about 15 km away; the Karow Nature Reserve with guided tours about 5 km away.

Cycling, Nordic walking, jogging: One of the best ways to experience the diverse lake landscape is on foot or by bike. Idyllic hiking trails (right by the house), such as the Tauchowsee Circular Ice Age Trail (4 km), the Alt Schweriner Werder Trail (12 km), and a well-developed network of bike paths (the International Bicycle Route runs right past the beach house), invite both seasoned cyclists and leisurely scenic riders alike to enjoy nature. Here’s a small selection of the options… Plauer See Loop Trail (55 km); Drewitzer See (37 km); Müritz (108 km); bike rentals available on-site! Since we’re located in the heart of the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide Nature Park and adjacent to the Müritz National Park, the nature tours offered here are highly recommended. The Karow Nature Conservation Center, a great starting point, is only about 6 km away. Boat trips to Lake Müritz and the other lakes are also unforgettable. (Dock approx. 1 km away)

Fishing on Lake Plauer and Lake Tauchow (50 m): Lake Plauer covers an area of about 4,300 ha and is teeming with fish. You can catch plenty of pike, eel, perch, and zander. Experienced anglers and children alike—whether using a casting rod or a float rod—will find plenty to enjoy. Pike fishing is permitted year-round. With patience and in the right spot, even young anglers can catch their first fish here. We’re happy to help them assemble their first fishing rod and make their first attempts at fishing. Fishing licenses and bait are available from the local fisherman. You can fish in peace from the water’s edge or from a boat in front of the reed line. Baitfish, bloodworms, and twisters are very effective. You can obtain the fishing license required for professional fishing in seminars offered by the local fisherman/Ms. Thomas (1 km away), as well as a tourist license (valid for 28 days) from the town of Malchow. Fishing licenses from other federal states are recognized. In addition, you will need a fishing permit. A rowboat is available for a fee (subject to availability). Good luck fishing!

Hosts/Culture: The hosts are available to assist you with any questions or concerns—whether you’ve run out of charcoal for the grill in the evening or aren’t sure what you’ve just caught. We’re happy to give you tips on secluded beaches, fishing, choosing the right bait, bike tours, and day trips to the Baltic Sea, Berlin, or Potsdam. Megalithic tombs, manor houses, castles, Brick Gothic architecture, and museums bear witness to the settlement and culture of the Müritz region. From the Schilfhaus, many of these scenic and cultural attractions are within easy reach on lovely day trips. The towns of Plau, Waren, and Malchow, with their historic buildings and unique charm, are major attractions. In the summer, there’s practically a folk festival, lake festival, or bathtub regatta somewhere every weekend (Hansesail, Müritzsail).
