What it is
Brandenburg is surrounded by water: here the Havel opens out into lakes. The Nordstern shipping company runs several scheduled routes: the two-hour city tour passes the cathedral, enters the Beetzsee with its Olympic regatta channel and the statue of Fritze Bollmann, continues along the Silokanal and returns via the Breitlingsee; the two-and-a-half-hour grand tour of the lakes also circles Kanincheninsel island; and the one-and-a-half-hour Fritze Bollmann trip tells the story of the city's most popular character.
