Several large lakes are visible in this unique landscape: the Schweriner See - on whose shore is Schwerin, the capital of the State -, the Krakower See and the Plauer See, the third-largest lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Farther to the north are the Malchiner and Kummerower See, in Mecklenburg's «Switzerland.» The Müritz is Germany's second-largest lake (115km²). On its northern shore is the largest tourist centre in the region (Waren).
