The Schaalsee Biosphere Reserve lies in western Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on its border with Schleswig-Holstein. From 1952 to 1990 large parts of the Schaalsee landscape lay within the military out of bounds area of the Inner German Border.

On the Schleswig-Holstein side of the border is the Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park founded in 1961.
