Müritz Sail
Flight along the Müritz as part of the event

A short flight that brought the event to the wider area of the Mecklenburg Lake District region.

Sightseeing flight
The flight
From the start on the Binnenmüritz, the flight takes you over the northern part of the Müritz as well as Kölpinsee and Fleesensee - from the water into the air and back again.
The take-off begins on the water. The plane slowly detaches from the jetty, turns into the wind and picks up speed.
As the speed increases, the hull lifts out of the water until the moment comes when the surface is carried and the Müritz remains below you.
From the air, the structure of the Müritz is visible: Müritz Sail boats, shorelines and the wide expanse of water.
The flight leads along the Müritz over Klink to the island town of Malchow and shows the landscape of the Mecklenburg Lake District from a tranquil perspective.
The landing takes place on the water again – a transition back into the movement of the lake.
The region
Müritz and lake landscape
The Müritz is the largest inland lake in Germany and part of the Mecklenburg Lake District – one of the most extensive water landscapes in Europe.
From the air, you can see how lakes, canals and shorelines connect with each other. Places like Klink and the island town of Malchow are nestled between water and forest.
The sightseeing flight shows this structure from a perspective that cannot be experienced from the ground.
Course of training
The process on the water
Before the flight, there is a short briefing on the water. The most important procedures and behavior are explained.
You then board the plane. After starting the engine, the plane detaches from the jetty and maneuvers over the Müritz to the take-off area.
This is where the take-off run on the water begins, before the aircraft detaches from the water and goes into a circular flight.
After landing on the water, the plane maneuvers back to the jetty, where you disembark.
The entire process on and around the water depends on the wind. Depending on the wind and water conditions, the duration may be slightly longer.
