April 18, 2026, Old Water Wheel in Stechlin-Ruppiner Land

Originally it was a classic water mill. Today it is decommissioned as a grain mill, but still possesses complete milling technology (formerly with a turbine). Since about 1928/1936 it has been operated electrically. The preserved water wheel (an undershot Straub wheel) still turns occasionally for demonstration purposes or lies in the flow.

November 9, 2025, Neuruppin City Wall

The city's first fortifications were built during the 13th century using palisades and a rampart and ditch system, which were later replaced by walls and ramparts. Twenty-four watchtowers and two tall towers further reinforced the city walls. Three gates were added: the Altruppin/Rheinsberg Gate in the north, the Berlin/Bechlin Gate in the south, and the Sea Gate in the east. The city was completely encircled by walls towards the end of the 15th century. The city wall is still almost entirely intact today. https://www.goruma.de/staedte/neuruppin/neuruppin-sehenswuerdigkeiten

Situation November 2025: no chance of crossing the bridge. Construction work is still in full swing. Maybe it's possible on weekends if you sneak through.

In the Ruppiner Land region, several cycle paths run parallel to forestry roads, which are a joy to ride in the first few years. Unfortunately, most cycle paths are laid as a rather thin asphalt surface directly on the sandy soil after the topsoil has been removed. This leads to the first signs of root growth after just a few years, and after a longer period, such paths develop a washboard surface. Unfortunately, these paths are unsuitable for racing bikes or riders with correspondingly high speeds.

Most of the lakes in the Ruppiner Land region are worth a visit. They are surrounded by pine forests and, in good weather, reflect the typical North German sky.

Castle tours are generally possible on Wednesdays outside of school holidays. The annual Wustrau Lake Festival at the castle's lakeside stage also invites you to discover the knight's seat. The grave of the hussar general is located on the north side of the Wustrau Church. The Brandenburg-Prussia Museum today bears witness to the region's history.

A well-developed route between the fields. There are turnoffs to the lake.

This is the way to Lake Molchow. A quiet body of water with some lovely swimming spots.
