Start at the “Schirmkinder” and make your way clockwise around the cool water. Along the way, benches invite you to take short breaks – perfect for letting your gaze wander and listening to the stories about the Arsenal or the Commandant’s House. The Schwerin Pfaffenteich is not only a green oasis in the middle of the city center, but also a stage for sports. Every year, the Dragon Boat Festival draws visitors to its shores – a highlight with a long tradition.
