21 The West Mecklenburg region is characterised by its unique natural potential for recreation, holidays and leisure. Thousands of locals and visitors every year are enamoured with its green meadows and fields, deep forests, numerous lakes and rivers with clean and clear water, old avenues, long white Baltic beaches and large, unspoilt nature reserves. A quarter of the area is protected because of its unique landscape and nature. Well over 100 kilometres of white sandy beaches attract Baltic Sea lovers to the coast of West Mecklenburg. The 37-square-kilometre island of Poel and the traditional Baltic resort of Boltenhagen are particular attractions here. A wide variety of leisure activities ensure that this special natural environment can be explored and combined with recreational benefits. Modern cycling and hiking trails offer the best conditions for a sporting nature experience in a largely untouched landscape. All kinds of water sports are possible in the Baltic Sea and on the many lakes in West Mecklenburg. Modern golf courses offer outstanding standards. A REGION WORTH LIVING IN NATURAL. RELAXNG Natural.
