70 km from Berlin, in the north-east of Germany, lies Neuruppin, a charming town on the side of the boat. This beautiful and interesting town in Brandenburg, sometimes called Fontanestatd, has managed to maintain a certain dynamism at all levels. Combining cultural, historical and natural riches, it attracts many travelers.
A city of culture
The birthplace of many famous people, Neuruppin has several interesting monuments. Discover, during a dreamy stroll, an inspiring city proud of its culture. The seated statue of Theodor Fontane, the famous German poet, will be your first surprise. Combine this visit with his birthplace in Löwenapotheke. Every two years, Neuruppin organizes a cultural festival in his name.
Another memorial dedicated to Karl Friedrich Schinkel stands behind the parish church of Neuruppin. The statue, built by the sculptor Max Wiese in 1883, honors a German painter, urban planner and royal architect. Take the opportunity to admire St. Marien's Church, rebuilt in 1801 after the town burned down in 1787. Nowadays, the church has become a cultural center and hosts various exhibitions.
You can't miss the majestic abbey of St-Trinitatis and Wichmannlinde, in the center of Neuruppin, restored in 1836. From the top of its tower, enjoy a sublime panorama of the entire city. From there, finish your cultural discovery with a pleasant stroll through the Temple Garden. A charming garden containing some rare plants created at the request of Prince Frederick II of Prussia.
Neuruppin, nature side
Although it is a cultural city, Neuruppin also stands out for the beauty of its wonderful natural landscapes. Lake Ruppin, which runs through the city, gives it a bewitching charm. A picturesque stroll along the lake can be organized through a yacht charter in Neuruppin. Set sail for Molchow, the starting point for hikes to the Ruppiner Schweiz forest area.
To enjoy the delights of Lake Ruppin, head for Gnewikow, a favorite vacation spot for the people of Neuruppin. Here you will find the best part of the lake for sailing, canoeing and swimming. The wild nature of the region can be discovered on a walk to Guhlen-Glienicke.
