Tour 8: Advanced civilization in the high north of Brandenburg

From Neuglobsow, we set off for Rheinsberg along various lakes. The castle situated there with its park and the Cavalier’s House invite you to linger a while, just as it used to be in old Prussia. People who are interested can occupy themselves with the exhibition on the writer Kurt Tucholsky or with the work of the Rheinsberg Musical Academy, which are housed in the castle.

Afterwards, we continue our journey to Neuruppin, the birthplace of the writer Theodor Fontane and of the architect Friedrich Schinkel. Neuruppin is certainly the most Prussian of all Brandenburg towns: the streets and alleys, all of which are laid-out like a chess board, end at the Neuruppiner See (a lake), however, which covers up the harshness of the town with its inviting waterfront. After a little refreshment on the waterfront, we set off from Neuruppin via the A24 and A10 motorways for the way home to Potsdam.
