What it is

The Klosterkirche of the Holy Trinity is Neuruppin's emblem: the church of the Dominican convent founded in 1246 by Father Wichmann, with two 63-metre towers on the lake shore. Beside it grows Wichmann's lime tree. In front stretches the renovated lake promenade, the Bollwerk, where the Parzival keeps watch, a 17-metre stainless steel figure by the artist Matthias Zágon Hohl-Stein.

How it works

Walk the Bollwerk from end to end and return through the old town. The boats leave from here, and the Resort Mark Brandenburg and its restaurants are at the end of the promenade.
