Liebenwalde

Three canals criss-cross the small town of Liebenwalde and offer the opportunity for a variety of tours – both on the water and on land.

The monastery was badly destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War. Today, the preserved north wing houses a museum on the history of the monastery and a monastery café.

Fürstenberg/ Havel

It is Germany’s only “water town”: the town centre of Fürstenberg/Havel is picturesquely situated on islands between three beautiful and clean bathing lakes and snuggled up on the Havel. Attractions include the Fisch-Kanu-Pass – a water slide for paddlers, the Havelpark with its railway ferry monument and fitness trail, as well as the market square ensemble with its neo-Gothic town church. A visit to the Ravensbrück Memorial is also worthwhile.
