What it is

Rheinsberg's marina is on the shore promenade, inside the old town. The same Reederei Halbeck hires out canoes, rowing boats and pedalos for half a day or a whole day, and small motorboats that can be driven without a licence, such as the Agder 630, for five people. With them you explore the Grienericksee and the Rheinsberger See on your own, with islands and forested shores.

How it works

Ask for prices and availability at the office at Markt 11 or by phone; it does not publish rates on its website. For the licence-free boats you are given an explanation before setting off. Bring water and sun cream: there is little shade on the lakes.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need a licence?

Not for the canoe and the small licence-free boats.
