What it is
The Weisse Flotte, Schwerin's white fleet, sails from the landing stage opposite the palace. The four-lakes line tours the Schweriner See, the Ziegelsee and the Heidensee among islands and waterfowl and returns to the palace, which you see head on from the water at the end. From May to September, the island line stops at Zippendorf and at Kaninchenwerder, a protected island in the lake. In November and December a two-hour winter line runs.
