Shallow sandy beach Playground by the lake Boats & SUP Traffic-calmed ## Finally, a holiday the kids will remember You know how it goes: you’ve barely arrived at the hotel and the kids are already bored. The room is cramped, everyone has to sit still in the restaurant, and every outing needs a precise plan. Instead of relaxation, a family holiday then means mostly organization – and in the evening everyone falls into bed exhausted without anything truly lovely having stuck. And yet all you really want is carefree days together. Then there are the costs: many hotels mercilessly charge every extra for children, and in the end a family of four pays a small fortune for very little room to move. And when you do head to the water, access is often steep, deep or crowded – someone always has to keep watch. A relaxed swim where the kids can simply splash around looks different. That’s exactly where we come in. Things are different here. Genuss-Ferien in Jabel lies in the middle of the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heide Nature Park, right on the Jabelscher See – with no through traffic, safe and with plenty of space where kids can simply be kids. At your [lakeside pitch](https://genuss-ferien.de/en/camping) or in the holiday apartment, the little ones play on the shallow sandy beach, at the playground or with the children of the neighboring family – while you enjoy a coffee in peace. Boredom is guaranteed not to set in here. Fresh air instead of screens, woods and water instead of waiting rooms: a **family holiday at Lake Müritz** does everyone good – especially for recharging before the new school year. Between romping, swimming and boat trips, the phone stays in the pocket all by itself. Whether it’s a week of the summer holidays or a long weekend: here your kids collect memories of campfires, long summer evenings and little adventures, while you finally get to unwind yourself. Our region ## Bored? Not at Lake Müritz! Around Jabel, every day becomes a little adventure. Affenwald Malchow, the European bison reserve and Müritz National Park are just around the corner – shining children’s eyes guaranteed. If you’d rather get out on the water, rent a rowing boat or pedal boat or step onto a stand-up paddleboard; on cycle paths through woods and fields the whole family gets moving. Above all, though, everyone here recharges with what the city lacks: fresh air, nature and real relaxation – without the constant barrage of screens. And if you do fancy the sea: the Baltic Sea with its sandy beaches is only just over an hour away by car.

With kids, that’s often more relaxed. The afternoon nap works better in a quiet bedroom, breakfast is served when everyone is awake, and when it rains the whole family simply retreats indoors where it’s warm. You cook when and what you like, keep to your usual routine and don’t have to adapt to any hotel schedules. That way the accommodation itself becomes a relaxing retreat for young and old. For the classic family, our cozy holiday apartments are just right. They are fully equipped, bright and homely, and offer room to play without everything having to be tidied up all the time. The shallow sandy beach, the playground and the boat jetty are just a few steps away – ideal when the kids want to head straight for the water first thing in the morning. In the evening, the family sits together at the table or on the terrace and lets the day wind down at a leisurely pace. Are you traveling with your extended family or even with friends’ families? Then our large holiday home for up to 28 people is the perfect choice. With its own sauna, plenty of space and a spacious common room, it’s wonderfully suited to shared holidays, milestone birthdays or family celebrations. The kids have playmates around the clock while the adults take turns – so someone also gets a quiet moment for a walk or a book by the lake. Whichever option you choose: your own bathroom, space for toys and green areas to romp around make sure everyone has their own retreat – and the lake is still just a few steps away. Simply bring along what your kids love and feel right at home. Especially during the school holidays, the most beautiful accommodations are booked up quickly – so it’s best to secure your preferred dates early. from **€79.00** / night [Book](#buchung) [Details](https://genuss-ferien.de/en/holiday-homes-apartments) ![](https://genuss-ferien.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/genuss-ferien-ferienhaus-ferienwohnung-1140x1140px-02-1-214x214.avif) ![](https://genuss-ferien.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/genuss-ferien-ferienhaus-ferienwohnung-galerie-1080x720px-01-320x214.avif) ## Nature holiday in the Lake District A family holiday in the middle of nature: at Genuss-Ferien you stay right on the Jabelscher See – with a playground, a shallow sandy beach and plenty of space to romp around. Great prospects for your family holiday at Lake Müritz! ![](https://genuss-ferien.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/genuss-ferien-start-galerie-1080x720px-04-320x214.avif) ![](https://genuss-ferien.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/genuss-ferien-familie-gruppenhaus-feiern-mueritz-seenplatte-1920x1080-03-320x180.avif) ![](https://genuss-ferien.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/genuss-ferien-camping-zeltplatz-jabelscher-see-07-1440x810-1-320x180.avif) ![](https://genuss-ferien.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/genuss-ferien-aktivitaeten-1080x720px-02-320x214.avif) ![](https://genuss-ferien.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/genuss-ferien-urlaub-mit-hund-1080x720px-05-320x214.avif) ## Family day trips in the Mecklenburg Lake District There’s never a dull moment around the Mecklenburg Lake District. With kids, Affenwald Malchow with its free-climbing Barbary macaques, the Damerower Werder European bison reserve and the Müritzeum in Waren – a large aquarium that also saves rainy days – are well worth a visit. In Müritz National Park you can watch white-tailed eagles and cranes: hands-on natural history that no textbook can replace. And what if the grandparents look after the little ones for a while? Then the small towns all around invite you for a stroll: the island town of Malchow with its monastery, historic Röbel with its brick churches or the old town of Waren. Active families hop on their bikes – our [cycling and water sports offers](https://genuss-ferien.de/en?page_id=2335) lead along safe routes around the lakes. That’s how a **family holiday in the Mecklenburg Lake District** combines adventure for the kids and relaxation for the parents – without the stress of long-haul travel. And on really hot days? Then you can drive to the Baltic Sea in just over an hour and let the kids romp in the sea and the sand. Restaurant & lake terrace ## Feasting together with a view of the lake After a day full of romping and exploring, dinner tastes twice as good. On our lake terrace with 120 seats, young and old alike enjoy the view across the water – with a proper menu for adults and a separate kids’ menu, plus ice cream for the little ones and coffee and cool drinks for the parents. And if you’d rather cater for yourself: the kiosk has fresh bread rolls and everything you need for a spontaneous picnic on the shore. 120 seats with a lake view Terrace, loungers Campfire corner Fresh cuisine & pizza Regional, seasonal, nothing from a packet Coffee, homemade cakes [To the restaurant](https://genuss-ferien.de/en/restaurant) ![](https://genuss-ferien.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/genuss-ferien-start-restaurant-1140x1140px-02-320x320.avif) ![](https://genuss-ferien.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/genuss-ferien-start-galerie-1080x720px-07-1-320x214.avif) Day trip tips ## Day trip destinations & experiences for kids Where to today?
