The Ruppiner Seenland is one of the most beautiful water sports areas in Europe. Castles with stunning lake views, like Rheinsberg, provide magical backdrops for concerts, theater and festivals. In Neuruppin, the birthplace of Theodor Fontane, and in many other towns in the region, there are many reminders of Brandenburg-Prussian history. And in many places the landscape still looks as it did in Fontane's time: Cobbled streets with fruit trees and corn poppies by the wayside and storks on the roofs.
Let's go! We show you what the perfect day in the Ruppiner Seenland looks like, give you valuable tips and recommendations for your vacation, and tell you which highlights are not to be missed here.

Discover water and enjoy nature
The Ruppiner Seenland is the region with the most water in Brandenburg. More than 170 lakes as well as rivers and canals invite you to water adventures with a canoe, houseboat or motorboat. Leisure time captains are directly connected to Berlin, the Elbe, the Oder and the Baltic Sea via the dense waterway network.
The unspoiled landscape of the Ruppiner Seenland also offers cyclists many opportunities to enjoy, marvel and discover, for example on the Havel Cycle Path or the Berlin-Copenhagen Cycle Path.
In the midst of the Rheinsberg & Furstenberg chain of lakes lies the Great Stechlin Lake. Brandenburg's deepest clear water lake impresses with a water depth of 68 meters. Around it, extensive forests in the Stechlin-Ruppiner Land Nature Park invite visitors to go hiking. An autumn hike around the Stechlinsee is a very special feast for the eyes.
