The relatively undiscovered waterways of Brandenburg and Mecklenburg form a network of lakes and canals that provide an idyllic cruising area. Noted for its clean air and waters, this area is as popular with cruising enthusiasts as it is with nature lovers so don’t forget your binoculars. The many forests, moors and green pastures along these varied waterways offer ample opportunities to stop and explore (preferably by bike) the surrounding countryside at your leisure while splendid lakeside houses and Baroque castles offer a glimpse into the lifestyles of bygone eras.

In the Brandenburg region, our base at Potsdam is perfectly placed for visiting the historic city of Berlin, the official capital of Germany since 1999. Admire the futuristic architecture on Potsdamer Platz, the new glass dome on the Reichstag and the famous Brandenburg Gate.
