The central market square, Marktplatz, is a focal point, often hosting local events, and the impressive Lochow Cathedral is just a short stroll away. It's a very walkable area, making it easy to explore on foot.Couples often find the Altstadt particularly appealing. The romantic setting, with its historic architecture and intimate dining options, provides a lovely backdrop for a getaway. Evening strolls along the river, which borders one side of the Altstadt, are also very pleasant.For families, staying slightly outside the immediate Altstadt, perhaps towards the Schlossgarten district, offers a good balance. This area is still very close to the main attractions but provides more open green spaces, like the Schlossgarten park, which is superb for children to play in.
