Travelled:  113 kilometres from G\u00fcstrow to Neustrelitz in Germany.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visited:  Neustrelitz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stayed:  Neustrelitz Marina Stellplatz \u20ac8, but the services are extra.  N53.36574, E13.05559<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a late exit from G\u00fcstrow after our visit to the Schloss.  Initially we make good time on the E55 but we turn off to take the scenic drive through the lakeland and Muritz National Park.  Whilst the road is scenic, its also very slow, then just to make matters worse a section of the road is closed and we cop a 20 kilometre detour.  We stop at Warren for a late lunch before continuing on arriving in Neustrelitz by late afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many of the German stellplatz’ we have stopped in, they are set up for travelling boat owners and motorhomes.  The price is reasonable at \u20ac8 or at least that what all these retirees seem to think.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The nicest thing about Neustrelitz is the lake, called the Zierkersee. Other than that the port area is the focal point. A well resoursed marina, some cafes, bars etc. It’s a nice place to have an afternoon wander.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A French Pennichette style house boat on the quay in Neustrelitz. Brings back some fond memories of our couple of weeks on the Midi Canal.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Neustrelitz Kirke just off the square that isn’t a square.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As you can hopefully see from the map above the old town’s design is similar to the spokes on a wagon wheel. This fountain sits in the centre of a spacious circular public space,<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After our morning coffee I get the bikes out and we take to the cycle path around the lake.  What starts out as a very civilised path, turns into a farm track in some stages and an old GDR cobbled road in another.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
There are some interesting stopping spots along the 16 kilometres path.  Its a good leg stretch and well worth the effort.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
