Rent a vacation apartment Havelland

Queen Luise, Heinz Sielmann and discoveries along the way

Anyone who goes on a journey can tell a lot. And the report is almost always different. For one traveller wants to tell of his experiences on the trail of famous names, the other is deeply impressed by small peculiarities along the way. A holiday in Havelland is ideal for both groups. The region invites you to go water walking, swimming, cycling, golfing or hiking. Guests not only from Germany follow in the footsteps of Theodor Fontane, Queen Luise, Otto Lilienthal and Albert Einstein. Or discover the pear tree of Herr von Ribbeck auf Ribbeck in Havelland or marvel at castles and gardens in this part of Brandenburg. As a starting point for one kind of holiday or another, a holiday home or flat where you can do as you please is ideal. Here too, the possibilities are great, and the right thing for everyone can be found quickly.

By houseboat, canoe, motorboat or sailboat. Let's stay with the river that gives it its name: the canoe glides almost silently along the Havel. A different kind of city tour. The view falls on the cathedral of St. Peter and Paul and the streets and alleys of the old town with its buildings in the style of North German brick Gothic. The oldest city in the federal state of Brandenburg - the "cradle of the Mark" - is criss-crossed by river arms and canals. The canoe tour passes through three historic areas of Brandenburg: the cathedral island, the new town and the old town. The tour on the water whets the appetite for more: for example, a visit to the Archaeological State Museum in the St. Pauli Monastery. Looking for even more variety? The Havel winds leisurely through Brandenburg and offers fascinating insights into a remarkable natural setting. By houseboat, canoe, motorboat or sailing boat, along the Havel there are numerous opportunities to stop and take advantage of the services offered by the marinas, piers or waterway rest areas.

Herr von Ribbeck's pear tree in Havelland. Those who prefer solid ground under their feet should consider a circular cycle tour for the whole family that leads from the country estate to the pear tree. The tour starts at Nauen railway station. You can cycle comfortably along the well-maintained and signposted cycle path. The first destination is the Stober estate in Groß Behnitz, a listed former estate of the Borsig family from the 19th century. The entire red-brick complex is worth seeing and the restaurant is the ideal place for a short break. In good weather, visitors sit nicely on the terrace and enjoy the view of Lake Groß Behnitz. Ribbeck is reached after a few kilometres. Everyone who had to learn Fontane's famous poem by heart at school knows the name. The historical tour through the village is signposted and leads to the castle, the church with the famous pear tree, the old school and the parish garden. With a bit of luck, you might even meet the descendant of Herr von Ribbeck in the Old Distillery.

Look out from ancient wilderness to the Berlin TV tower. Even more nature presents itself in Sielmann's natural landscape Döberitzer Heide. Bison rub up against old oaks, Przewalski's horses gallop across open moorland and shy red deer hide behind tall gorse bushes. In Sielmann's natural landscape Döberitzer Heide, just outside Berlin, hikers experience a diversity of animals and plants that has become rare in Germany's cultivated landscape. The former military training area with its sparse forests, open heath areas and isolated wetlands is now a vast refuge for people and nature. Those seeking adventure will find wilderness and natural diversity far from settlement and traffic on some 55 kilometres of hiking trails. In spring and autumn you can hear the cranes calling, from time to time the white-tailed eagle circles over the landscape and wild horses, bison and red deer graze well camouflaged between the trees. Resting places invite you to have a picnic and a viewing platform offers a unique panoramic view of the landscape from 85 metres above sea level all the way to the Berlin TV tower.Sielmann's natural landscape stretches over 3650 hectares between Elstal and Potsdam and is thus 17 times larger than the Great Zoo in Berlin's Mitte district. Today, around 90 bison, 30 Przewalski's horses and 90 red deer live in the so-called wilderness core zone of 1860 hectares. The bison and Przewalski's horse became extinct outside zoos and enclosures in the 20th century. In the Döberitzer Heide they live freely in nature again and return to their original behaviour in the wild.

Visitors can feel like a royal family in Paretz: Queen Luise enjoyed summers in the countryside here. From 1797 to 1805, the Prussian Queen Luise always spent six summer weeks in Paretz with her husband, Frederick William III, and their children. For them, it was an almost private summer retreat where they could enjoy family life. Here, at the gates of Potsdam, they also demonstrated a modern form of country life. The castle is built in the style of a large manor house and forms an ensemble with the park, the church and other buildings. Anyone who feels reminded of England while walking through the small village is not at all mistaken: Paretz was laid out as a model village according to the English model.

But Werder should not be missed on a trip through Havelland: The pretty town is considered a flower chamber and fruit chamber at the same time. The 45-metre-high steeple of the neo-Gothic Church of the Holy Spirit and the reconstructed Bockwindmühle (windmill) characterise the town's silhouette in the midst of Lenné's cultural landscape. The quaint single-storey fishermen's houses and the baroque plaster building of the Old Town Hall show how the 18th-century architecture still defines the townscape today. The historic old town and the charming landscape can be experienced during a hike or a bicycle or boat tour.When the fruit trees are in full bloom in spring, Werder (Havel) has been celebrating its famous tree blossom festival since 1879. Thousands of guests from near and far enjoy a wide variety of regional products, such as the fruit wines of the Werder fruit growers or the quality wine from the Werder Wachtel- und Galgenberg, the northernmost contiguous wine-growing area for quality wine in Europe. The fruit tree museum is located on the island, the historical part of Werder.

Albert Einstein in Caputh. The holiday region of Lake Schwielow with the districts of Caputh, Ferch and Geltow welcomes you on a voyage of discovery through a landscape that has always inspired famous poets, artists and scientists. The charming nature around the lake, charming towns with an exciting history and cultural highlights form the backdrop for a relaxing and varied holiday by the water. On bike tours directly along the water, hikes through deep forests or a boat tour on Lake Schwielowsee, holidaymakers can enjoy active recreation in the midst of very charming nature. And the region also truly has a lot to offer culturally - with the baroque castle or Albert Einstein exhibitions in Caputh, the Havelland painters' colony and fruit box stage in Ferch or the active hand weaving museum in Geltow.
