Pilgrimage Mecklenburg Lake District is urgently looking for overnight stays!

In the picturesque region of the Mecklenburg Lake District, the pilgrim culture becomes increasingly alive. Since 2014, over 1000 pilgrims on the 230 kilometers long Pilgrimweg have dared to lead from Friedland to Mirow. Every year, around 100 people use this path that is not only suitable for experienced hikers, but also for beginners to gain spiritual experiences.

The pilgrimage path that carries the symbolic yellow shell on a blue background was expanded in 2023 and now leads to Bad Wilsnack. This ensures a direct connection to the well -known pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela, which gives the Mecklenburg Lake District pilgrimage.
