In 2012, a new highlight in Plau am See was completed and opened to the public - the new pier with the lighthouse. This has already become a real visitor magnet in the climatic health resort. At weekends in particular, many guests and locals take advantage of the fine weather to enjoy the view of Lake Plau and the surrounding area from the platform.
With a total height of 13.5 meters, the lighthouse now welcomes all guests arriving from the water as they enter Plau am See. Visitors can climb the tower from land and enjoy a fascinating panoramic view of Lake Plau, the Müritz-Elde waterway and Plau am See from the viewing platform at a height of 8 meters. The tower is open daily from April to October. From November to March, the tower is open every Friday to Sunday and by prior arrangement. Special opening hours for groups can be arranged by prior arrangement with the Tourist Info Plau am See. For safety reasons, please note that the tower remains closed during storms, thunderstorms, ice and snow. Entering the tower and the pier is at your own risk. Parents are liable for their children.
The area around the lighthouse is home to a harbor, a snack bar and vacation apartments. The Metow connects Lake Plau with the old town of Plau am See and offers guests a maritime flair while strolling and lingering.
