Length: 26 km

Enjoy the natural beauty of the Ruppiner Schweiz with its undisturbed, idyllic lakes and unspoilt riverways. Extensive forests, lush meadows, reed-lined shores, numerous water lily fields and the diverse fauna ensure an unforgettable experience. Lakes, streams, gorges, rolling hills and magnificent mixed forest: the Ruppiner Schweiz in northern Brandenburg is a beautiful region for canoeing.

Theodor Fontane himself fell in love with this beautiful landscape 130 years ago. Be inspired by the region just as Theodor Fontane was.
