Vacation rentals in Krakow am See

Krakow am See, nestled in the heart of Mecklenburgische Seenplatte, offers an idyllic escape for families seeking nature, culture, and adventure. Start your visit at the picturesque Krakower See, where you can rent pedal boats or join a guided canoe tour with Kanu-Mühle for a relaxing exploration of the tranquil lake. The lakeside promenade is perfect for leisurely walks, and children will love the playgrounds scattered along the way.

Be sure to visit the historic St. Mary’s Church, an architectural gem with a panoramic tower view, and the Heimatmuseum Krakow am See, which showcases the town’s rich local history. For a unique family experience, book a ride on the Draisine, a pedal-powered rail vehicle that runs along the old railway tracks through scenic forests and meadows. The local Eiscafé am Markt is a favorite stop for homemade ice cream and sweet treats after a day of sightseeing.

For something off the beaten path, venture to the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide Nature Park, just outside town, for wildlife spotting and tranquil hikes. Locals recommend the hidden bathing spot at Jörnberg, a peaceful cove ideal for a family picnic and a refreshing swim away from the crowds. Finish your day with fresh fish from Fischerei Krakow am See, a beloved spot for regional specialties.
