Day 2
Water Lilies Paradise and gutter lakes
After a small paddle briefing and the handover from the canadier or the touring-kayak we recommend a drive into the “water lily paradise”. The really narrow groove lakes are covered in a carpet of water lilies at the end of may. If you have a bit time left, we also recommend a visit at the national park lakes.
overnight in hotel 1
paddling distance: at least 8,5 km (canoe hire centre – Hotel)
Day 3
Canoeing through the “Old Waterway”
Your luggage is carried to the next hotel and you start your next paddling trip.
You canoe through the idyllic lakes of the Strelitzer and Rheinsberger Lake District. The lakeshores are often forested and unbuilt.
The focus of the trip is on observing and enjoying the water landscape – without any athletic condition.
In the evening you reach your small hotel – located directly at the lake.
overnight in hotel 2
paddling distance: at least 12 km (hotel 1 to hotel 2)
Day 4
Roundtour through the “Beek”
On today’s round trip you cross one of the remote, clear lakes of the Lake District. The lake is restricted for motor boats so you can really enjoy the silence of the landscape.
With a little bit of luck and attention you will also meet the rare kingfishers, sea eagles and fish eagles. In the evening you will reach your hotel at Labussee again.
overnight in hotel 2
paddling distance: at least 17 km (complete roundtrip)
Day 5
Legendary Stechlin lake
The canoe tour today leads you to the western connected lake chain in direction to the elbow-lake. On a short tramp you’re getting to the legendary stechlin-lake in the nature park Stechlin-Ruppiner country. This lake is with his 70 meters depth one of the deepest lakes in Brandenburg and one of the last clearwaterlakes in Germany. As an alternative you can spend the day relaxing at one of the lakefronts – and maybe with a jump into the water…
overnight in hotel 2
paddling distance: at least 27km (Hotel 2 – Stechlinsee – Hotel 2)
Day 6
Hüttenkanal and Rheinsberger lakes
Another change of the accommodation is on the plan for today. You will drive from the Rheinsberger landscapes until the Rheinsberger-lakes. The route proceeds from the “small Pälitz-lake” through the “Hüttenkanal”, above the Präbelow-lake, the Tietzlow-lake to the Schlaborn-lake and from this further to the Rheinsberger-lake! At the lakefront of the Rheinberger-lake is the next hotel placed.
overnight in hotel 3
paddling distance: at least 10 km (Hotel 2 – Hotel 3)
Day 7
Into the prussian Rheinsberg
It’s a day you should definitely enjoy. You will cross the Rheinsberger-lake southbound in the Grienerick-lake until you can see the Rheinsberger castle at the southwestern lakefront. You arrived at the brandenburgische Rheinsberg. Here spent the prussian crown prince “Friedrich der Große” his happiest years. The representative three-wing building of the castle with main courtyard round tower and colonnade was the court of the muses for the crown prince. The triangle place with his posting milestones in Rheinsberg, is the centre of a closed baroque city layout. It’s as an ensemble mostly preserved and represents an unique certificate Frederician city development.
The way back is in the opposite direction.
overnight in hotel 3
paddling distance: about 9 km (hotel 3 – Rheinsberg – hotel 3)
alternative small walking tour: ca. 8 km (hotel 3 – Rheinsberg – hotel 3)
