Nature Experiences for Everyone

Experiencing unforgettable moments in the impressive landscape of the Müritz National Park should be possible for all people. We are aware that barrier-free offers are comfortable for everyone. However, the untouched and self-willed nature presents us many hurdles to implement the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in the protected area. Therefore, we are grateful for your help and suggestions to find ways and means to make "nature experiences for everyone" possible.

AllNational Park iInformation is accessible for people with physical disabilities. Our exhibitions can be experienced by wheelchair users, with the exception of the bat exhibition in Kratzeburg.
