Rheinsberg, located in Brandenburg, Germany, offers a unique waterborne glimpse into one of the region's most cherished landmarks and its surrounding natural beauty. Operated by Reederei Halbeck, the Anlegertour (ab Rheinsberg) invites adventurers of all ages to experience Schloss Rheinsberg and its expansive park from a fresh vantage point: the water. This canal tour moves through narrow bridges and winding waterways, connecting a series of serene lakes surrounding the town.
The journey threads its way from the Grienericksee to the Große Rheinsberger See, passing the Remusinsel, an island rich in subtle ecological diversity, before continuing through the Schlabornkanal and onto the quiet expanse of Schlabornsee. The route then leads along the Jagowkanal to Tietzowsee, where the quaint village of Zechlinerhütte offers a charming stopover option. After crossing Große Prebelowsee, the route circles back to Rheinsberg. This network of lakes and canals cuts through a landscape dotted with mixed forests and wetlands, home to typical Brandenburg wildlife such as kingfishers and Eurasian beavers.
What sets Reederei Halbeck apart is its ability to blend leisure with discovery—passengers enjoy on-board refreshments while soaking in intimate views of historic sites and rural settlements inaccessible by road. The canal tour's slow, steady pace suits families and casual adventurers alike, making it a standout option for those seeking connection with the region's waterways and heritage without strenuous effort.
