The Zarow is a lowland river in Western Pomerania in the east of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Germany.
== Description == The lower course of the river, also known topographically as Zarow, is formed from two ditches, the Landgraben and the Weißer Graben (White Ditch) coming from the Galenbecker See. Since its upper course, which flows into Lake Galenbecke, begins with the Zarowbach, near a hill called the Zarowberg, it can be assumed that the name 'Zarow' was originally associated with this watercourse. Hydrographically, however, the Landgraben is considered the (main) upper reaches of the Zarow, since it has a significantly larger catchment area with the northern part of the Datze (the southern part of which flows into the Tollense in Neubrandenburg).
