Fishing and paddling in Schwerin: Lighting regulations endanger hobbyists!
In the heart of Schwerin there was recently a not so pleasant incident for water sports enthusiasts. The water police ended a fishing trip on the Ziegelsee due to a lack of lighting. A disciple of St. Peter who wanted to enjoy the tranquility of the water while sitting in an inflatable fishing boat was urged to be on the shore until sunset. But two stand-up paddlers on their SUP boards also had to end their trips prematurely.
The regulations are clear: On inland waterways, small non-motorized vehicles, which include SUP boards, belly boats, kayaks, rowing boats and inflatable boats, must be illuminated after sunset or in poor visibility. This light requirement applies specifically in the Ludwigslust-Parchim region, including on the Störkanal and the Müritz-Elde waterway. In Schwerin, too, athletes must ensure that they have sufficient lighting on the Ziegelinnensee and Ziegel outer lakes as well as on the Heidensee and Schweriner See.
Rules as security
The Inland Waterways Regulations regulate lighting for small craft, and it is not just a formality, but an important safety restriction to minimize dangers on waters with shipping traffic. Water sports enthusiasts who travel without the necessary lighting risk fines of up to 55 euros. But it's not always an immediate ticket; The water police have discretion and can only issue instructions.
Another important note: Most SUP boards are delivered without lighting, but there are ways to retrofit these, for example with brackets and LED lights. Here, the water police recommend consulting the weather apps to check the exact time of sunset, which is currently around 8:44 p.m. in the region.
Technology and security
But regulations don't just play a role on the water. The importance of technology in today's world should also not be underestimated. Companies in particular benefit from properly configured Google services. These services, such as Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google Meet, help significantly increase collaboration and productivity. An intuitive administration panel enables efficient management of user accounts and access rights.
The robust security measures, including two-factor authentication and advanced encryption, are also crucial to protect sensitive data. By providing training on how to use these tools safely, companies can not only increase efficiency, but also ensure that all employees are well-equipped to deal with potential security risks.
A place to relax
In addition to all these regulations and technology considerations, Schwerin and the surrounding area offer various opportunities for recreation and leisure activities. Whether in the water or on land, the city attracts many visitors with its beautiful nature, interesting shops and a warm community. The proximity to picturesque lakes and parks also makes for lovely excursions.
Overall, it shows that it is important to be well informed in all leisure activities - both about the applicable rules on the water and about the digital tools that can make everyday life easier. So stay alert, whether you're fishing or paddling in the evenings!
