For some years now, they have been considered a special treasure in the state of Brandenburg: towns with historic centres. 31 of them have joined together to form a cooperative to return these urban centres to their former vibrancy. On this tour, cyclists can see for themselves the progress made in four member towns. At 92 kilometres in length, the route between Gransee, Rheinsberg, Neuruppin and Kremmen is one of the more challenging routes, but the Ruppiner Seenland Lake District has numerous cyclist-friendly accommodation facilities. Good rail connections also mean you can easily split up this fascinating series of tours.
