background
In the Vistula glacial period about 15,000 years ago, a large glacier area abraded the land surface in what is now the Mecklenburg Lake District, creating valleys with channel lakes, which are connected by narrow passages or rivers, sometimes strung like pearls on a string.
Part of the region is connected to the watercourses Müritz, the largest German inland lake; the Elde flows from the Müritz via the Kölpin and Plauer See into the Elbe (and thus drains into the North Sea). The Havel spring lakes further east are the origins of the Havelwho initially face south and past Berlin turns west to also enter the Elbe to flow.
The whole area with flat hills and small lakes connected with canals and watercourses is partly used for agriculture, partly it is forested and the banks of the lakes are covered with reeds, the boggy water is usually a bit cloudy but clean.
