From there it continues in a northerly direction to Zemitz , where it runs southwest via Bömitz to the federal highway 109 and on this to Ziethen . There it turns west and leads via Menzlin , Quilow and Lüssow to Bundesstraße 111 , which it reaches near the town of Gützkow . From there it goes on the federal highway 96 to Jarmen, where the circuit closes.

The west route, which also begins in Gadebusch and Wismar, continues at Wittstock on the Dosse . From there it leads via Fehrbellin to Großbeeren . The east route leads from Sassnitz on the island of Rügen to Stralsund, Greifswald, Anklam and Prenzlau , and also ends in Großbeeren.
The legendary and fairy tale route Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

The aim is to present aspects of cultural and regional history , in particular with reference to regional sagas , fairy tales , songs and customs , in a child and family-oriented manner. Of three planned routes in the Mecklenburg-Schwerin region , along the Baltic Sea coast and in the Mecklenburg Lake District and Western Pomerania , a section with 20 locations and around 500 kilometers in length was opened in West Mecklenburg in July 2008 . The expansion and implementation of the other two sections were planned for 2009.
Holiday routes with sections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
The German avenue street
The Deutsche Alleenstraße is Germany's longest holiday route at around 2,500 kilometers and leads from the island of Rügen through eight federal states to Lake Constance . It is characterized by a route that follows streets densely covered with avenue trees. The project is supported by the ADAC , the German Tourism Association and the German Forest Protection Association . For the section in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, as for the rest of the route in the states of Brandenburg , Saxony-Anhalt , Saxony and Thuringia , the state of preservation of the avenues is generally better than in the southwestern part of the route in Hesse , Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden -Wuerttemberg . In the north-eastern route, some parts of the route still have the cobblestone pavement that originally marked the avenues.
The section of the Deutsche Alleenstraße in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania begins at Cape Arkona , the northernmost point on the island of Rügen. The route then leads on country roads through the towns of Trent , Kluis , Bergen , Putbus and Garz to the mainland connection of the island via the Hanseatic city of Stralsund . From Stralsund the road follows the course of the federal road 194 via Steinhagen , Grimmen , Loitz and Demmin . About halfway between Demmin and Stavenhagen the route leaves the B194. It then follows, along the Kummerower See and the Malchiner See , a country road to Malchin and on via Dahmen to Malchow . Starting immediately after Malchow, the route then runs for a short section to Sietow on the federal road 192 . It then leads back to Röbel via a country road . This road meets federal highway 198 a few kilometers after Röbel . Following the course of the B198 to the east, the route leads through the villages of Rechlin and Mirow to Wesenberg . From there it then runs, leaving the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the direction of Brandenburg, on a country road south through the Stechlinsee Nature Park via Zechlinerhütte to Rheinsberg .
The sights along this section of the Deutsche Alleenstraße on the island of Rügen include, for example, the Mönchguter open-air museums in Göhren , the Rasender Roland small train and the "White City" Putbus with its castle and the neo-classical city center consisting of gleaming white houses. The historic old town of Stralsund , together with the old town of Wismar, has been a World Heritage Site since 2002 . In the city of Grimmen, the late Gothic town hall and the three historic city gates are particularly worth seeing, and near Demmin the completely reconstructed Vanselow Castle , built in the late Classicist style . A little off the route in Stavenhagen there is a monument and a museum in memory of the writer Fritz Reuter who was born here, as well as the six Ivenack oaks , which are considered to be the oldest pedunculate oaks in Europe, in the immediate vicinity of Stavenhagen . The small town of Teterow , the geographical center of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, with a historic city center, the market square with the Hechtbrunnen and two city gates well worth seeing, the Rostocker Tor and the Malchiner Tor, is also a bit off the course of the Deutsche Alleenstraße . In Neustrelitz , in the middle of the Müritz National Park, the castle gardens and the market square with the town church and town hall are particularly worth seeing.
The Orange Route
The Oranier Route is a cross-border holiday route in Germany and the Netherlands and is designed as a circular route with a length of around 2,400 kilometers. It leads from Amsterdam through nine federal states in northern and central Germany and back to Amsterdam through cities and regions that have been linked to the House of Orange-Nassau for centuries. The Dutch Office for Tourism and Convention and the Amsterdam branch of the German National Tourist Board are responsible for setting up and maintaining the Orange Route.
Only a small stretch of the Orange Route leads through the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. According to the course of the Orange Route, the state capital Schwerin is the station following the city of Oranienburg in the state of Brandenburg. The approximately 190-kilometer route from Oranienburg to Schwerin takes you along the B 96 , the A10 (Berliner Ring), A24 and A 14 motorways , and the B 321 . The Orange Route continues from Schwerin to Hitzacker in Lower Saxony .
The city of Schwerin is part of the Orange Route because Heinrich Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin , who later became Queen Wilhelmina's husband and thus Prince of the Netherlands, was born here in 1876. In addition to the old town, Schwerin's sights include the Schwerin Castle , the city's landmark and today the seat of a museum and the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. At Old Garden is a picture gallery with about 500 works by Flemish and Dutch masters. The area around Schwerin is characterized by extensive lakes and forests as well as small towns such as Ludwigslust , Grabow and Dömitz .
The European Route of Brick Gothic
The European Route of Brick Gothic is a project designed by institutions from Denmark , Germany , Poland , Latvia , Lithuania , Estonia and Sweden , through which sights in a total of 31 cities are to be jointly marketed. The theme of the route is the architectural heritage of the brick Gothic .
In Germany, the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Housing , the Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning , the German Foundation for Monument Protection and, on the part of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the Ministry of Labor and Construction and the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Tourist Association are responsible for implementation . Participating cities and regions in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are Anklam, Wismar, the district of Northwest Mecklenburg , Bad Doberan , Rostock , Stralsund, the district of Rügen , Greifswald, Neubrandenburg and Parchim .
