Lübz – The Gateway to the Mecklenburg Lake District
Idyllically situated on the Müritz–Elde Waterway, the town of Lübz uniquely combines nature, history, and relaxation. Surrounded by forests, rivers, and lakes, Lübz is the ideal starting point for active holidaymakers, connoisseurs, and those seeking peace and quiet.
The historic old town, with its lovingly preserved buildings, tells of a history spanning more than 750 years. The town’s landmark is the Amtsturm, an imposing remnant of the former Eldenburg, which today offers sweeping views over the town and surrounding landscape. Small cafés, regional and international cuisine, and short distances create a relaxed town atmosphere.
Whether cycling, hiking, paddling, or a houseboat holiday – around Lübz, nature begins right on your doorstep. With its three marinas—Burow, Stadtmarina, and Bermudadreieck—it is perfectly connected to the Müritz–Elde Waterway. Railway enthusiasts can travel to the town in the summer months on the historic ODEG RegioShuttle. Its location between Schwerin, Plau am See, and the Müritz makes the town a perfect base for discovery tours through Mecklenburg.
Alongside tradition and tranquility, Lübz also stands for modern culture and vibrant events. Particularly well known are the two Goa festivals established nationwide and internationally, which each year attract music lovers and artists from many countries. Set in nature, they combine electronic music, community, and a unique open-air experience—an exciting contrast to the town’s historic backdrop, which survived both World Wars without so much as a scratch.
Cultural events such as the town festival “Lübzer Turmvergnügen” or the long-standing Lübz brewing tradition, which has made it to market leader in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, round off the diverse offerings and give Lübz its unmistakable character. Not to mention the observatory with planetarium and the two locks—one of them, the Lübz lock with its historic lift bridge; the second, the Bobzin lock, is the largest in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Lübz – close to nature, rich in history, and surprisingly lively.
A place to arrive, breathe deeply, and celebrate.
