There are about 100 lakes in Müritz National Park, including Bullowsee, and many more smaller waterbodies, runs, ditches and brooks.

The Havel rises in the Müritz section, close to the water divide between the Baltic and the North Sea.

Notable animals in the park include the red deer, the crane, the white-tailed eagle and the osprey.

Other animals include great bittern, reed warbler, redshank, greenshank, black stork, crane, teal, garganey and little stint.

In addition to the unspoiled nature in general, a lot of open common juniper stands can be found in the national park.
