How
long: 3 days the 1st week of August (1999)
How:
by train till Kratzeburg where I rented the canoe. Then paddling till Neustrelitz where
the renting place keeper came by car to take his canoe.
Where I slept:
in the campsites with my tent
Weather and
temperature: the weather was cloudy and sometimes rainy, while the temperature
was nice (18- 25). Remember that on the big lakes it’s often windy.
What you need:
a waterproof jacket, moreover a detailed map of the park and a compass will be very useful
What I liked:
the Park is a kind of labyrinth organised for long canoe trips. For instance there’re
dedicated tracks equipped with trolleys on rails to connect some channels or to by pass
the locks.
What I
disliked: paddling in the big lakes can be boring, especially when you’re
facing the wind
Tip:
it can be done even without being a “canoe guy”, but at least don’t overdo
planning the daily distances! The last but not the least, we didn’t find out
mosquitoes to be an issue
