Okay, sometimes it doesn't take much to fall in love – a walk along the water, a view of old walls, a smile from someone who doesn't just say "welcome", but means it. Plau am See is such a place. Someone who stays. Not loud, not intrusive – but real. And t-online has now also recognized this.
Under the heading "History meets nature", the editors have given us a tip that speaks from our hearts: Plau is worth it. For a trip, for a weekend, for more.
From fishing village to heartfelt home
Our roots run deep – all the way back to the Slavic settlement of Plawe. What used to connect raftsmen and traders is now a network of people who lend a hand. Who restore, revive, remain curious. Our old town tells of this in every cobblestone. The lift bridge from 1916, the castle tower with three-metre-thick walls, the town hall in the Dutch Renaissance – this is not decoration. This is living history.
And in the middle of it all: nature that breathes
There's no show here, but real wind. Clear lake. Shore to let go. Whether on foot through the heath, by bike through the countryside or by boat across the Müritz-Elde waterway - you will feel that there is space here. For thoughts. For new beginnings. For you.
And if you're looking for hustle and bustle? We have that too – but in a different way
In the middle of summer, it's not about selfies for us, it's about taking part: The Bathtub Rally 2.0, the Old Town Festival, the Castle Festival – these are not events, this is village life in motion. With music, togetherness and people who know how to celebrate without forgetting where they come from.
Tach Nice – to all those who land with us for the first time
Thanks to everyone who puts down roots here. Whether you're from Hamburg or Hagenow, whether you're here for the first time or have long been part of the whole – YOUseePLAU not only shows you the way, but also makes you feel at home a bit.
Plau is not a place to drive through. Plau is a place to stay.
Not forever, perhaps, but for that one moment that resonates. Goodbye, big city. Hello, real life. YOUseePLAU – and maybe you'll see more soon.
