What it is

Rheinsberg lies on a chain of lakes joined by canals. The Reederei Halbeck, with an office on the market square, sails all year as long as there is no ice. The five-lakes round trip leaves from the Grienericksee, passes the palace and Remus island, crosses the Schlaborn canal to the Tietzowsee and Zechlinerhütte and returns via the Großer Prebelowsee: two hours, with coffee, cake and wine on board. The nature route reaches the Schwarzer See at Flecken Zechlin, and the full-day one goes down through locks to Mirow, already in Mecklenburg.
