About Waren
Waren is the largest town on the Müritz, which covers 117 square kilometres and reaches 31 metres deep, though it averages only about 6 metres. The Binnenmüritz, the deepest part, lies off the town on the northern shore. Near the town, the Müritzeum is where you get information on Müritz National Park, a forest and lake reserve of 318 square kilometres where red deer, cranes, white-tailed eagles and ospreys live. Homes are spread around the wider area as well as the town. Most are small, sleeping two to four, and a minority have a sauna or a private pool.

When to go to Waren
Waren is a lake and forest base, not a seaside resort, so plan around the water and the woods. The Müritz is part of a federal waterway, which makes it a boating lake as much as a swimming one. Outside the summer months, check boat-trip timetables and restaurant opening times before you go. The national park, mostly forest with about 100 lakes, stays a walking option outside the boating months.
