geography
location
The Mirower See is located about eleven kilometers southeast of the southeast bank of the Müritz and extends north-west of Mirow immediately to the north. The lake, which is bordered by forests in the north, fields and meadows in the central part and Mirow on the south-east bank, is almost 2.5 kilometers long, up to 700 meters wide and a maximum of seven meters deep. Its altitude is 58.6 m above sea level. NHN . In the north of the lake there is a hook-shaped bay about one kilometer long, facing west. The Kleine Schulzensee flows into this from the south.
Islands
There is an island and an island within the Mirower See.
Mirow Castle, a Baroque castle built between 1748 and 1752 as the summer residence of the Mecklenburg dukes , and the Johanniterkirche , whose tower can be climbed , are located on the Mirow Castle Island , which is directly in front of Mirow .
The island of love, which is a small island immediately north of the castle island, can be reached via an old, restored bridge that leads over the narrow arm of the water between the two small islands. On this island is the tomb of the last Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz , Adolf Friedrich VI. (1882–1918) who took his own life. His not completely decomposed body is laid out in the tomb.
Waterways
A narrow canal, only about 200 meters long, connects the Mirower See with the Müritz-Havel-Wasserstraße (MHW) at km 22.52. At the confluence of this canal, only a few hundred meters from the south bank of the Mirower See, the Mirower Canal , the northwestern part of the MHW, joins ; it branches off from the Kleine Müritz of the Müritz-Elde waterway and runs through Sumpfsee and Ragunsee to Mirow. Since 1936, the Mirower Canal has replaced the Alte Fahrt or Alte Müritz-Havel-Wasserstraße, which flows into the Mirower See from the north. Until then it was the usual shipping route between the Havel and Müritz.
The old MHW begins with the Bolter Canal , which had a lock in the area of the Bolter Mühle , which, however, was filled in, on the east bank of the Müritz . Next close Caarpsee , Woterfitzsee , Leppinsee , the two Kotzower lakes and Granzower Möschen on.
Together with the Mirower See, these lakes form a chain of lakes, which is used by paddlers as a branch route on the way from the Müritz. From the Mirower to the Leppinsee, ships with internal combustion engines are also allowed to travel. However, Woterfitzsee and Caarpsee are closed to vehicles with internal combustion engines.
