The Photography Festival of the North on the Mecklenburg Lake District
The North German Nature Photography Days are held annually in Waren (Müritz) in the Mecklenburg Lake District. The festival has established itself as a fixture for nature photographers from all over Northern Germany. The venue is the Bürgersaal Waren at Amtsbrink.
The focus of the festival is on lectures and multi-vision shows on nature photography. Both regional and internationally renowned nature photographers provide insights into their work, their travels, and their photographic techniques. The large-format image shows transport the audience to fascinating landscapes and into the animal world, both near and far.
The program is complemented by workshops and excursions. The Mecklenburg Lake District, with its lakes, forests, and abundant birdlife, offers an optimal starting point for applying what has been learned in practice – from landscape photography to wildlife shots.
At the photo market – with free admission – exhibitors present current cameras, lenses, bags, tripods, and accessories, as well as travel offers, workshops, photo books, and literature. Those who have a day ticket can participate in the photo competition and win attractive prizes. Thus, the festival combines inspiration, knowledge transfer, and exchange among like-minded people.
With its 25th edition, the North German Nature Photography Days celebrate a milestone in 2026. From May 8th to 10th, the Bürgersaal Waren will once again transform into the center of nature photography in the North.
The program includes workshops and multi-vision shows with regional and international nature photographers. The photo market, with free admission, offers advice and the opportunity to test current equipment. Friday is open from 2 PM to 7 PM, while on Saturday and Sunday, the program starts at 9:15 AM. Day ticket holders can participate in the photo competition.
