About Lychen
Lychen is a small town of about 3,100 people in the Uckermark, 12 kilometres east of Fürstenberg/Havel and 24 kilometres south-east of Neustrelitz. It is known as the seven-lake town, and raft trips run on Lake Oberpfuhl, a reminder that timber rafting once drove the local economy and is now the subject of a museum. A city wall and the Church of St John survive. The flat-headed drawing pin was invented here in 1903. The Uckermark Lakes Nature Park, managed from Lychen, is known for its ospreys, woodland and ice-age landscape. The homes sit close together, mostly for two to six people with two bedrooms, and all have a garden. None has a pool.

Lychen is about 12 kilometres from Fürstenberg/Havel and 24 from Neustrelitz, and the homes sit in a small cluster, so a hire car is the practical way to arrive and to reach the lakes.
When to go to Lychen
Brandenburg has 6,500 kilometres of navigable water, which suits a gentle family day in a canoe as well as multi-day tours, so the warmer months are the time for paddling. Check the dates of the raft trips on Lake Oberpfuhl before you plan around them. Out of season the town is quiet, so check that cafés, boat hire and the museum are open before you travel.
