Historic Town Centres Cycle Routes - Route 2

From Rheinsberg to Ribbeck - Fontane’s Magic Castle and the Dream of Flying: Today, Fontane would be a travel blogger. His stories were about the people who lived, loved and suffered in Brandenburg. The Historic Town Centres Cycle Route 2 takes you around his birth town of Neuruppin and offers inspiring encounters. There is a prince called Frederick who set up the Court of the Muses at Rheinsberg Palace. There is the Dutch princess who dreamed of her homeland in Oranienburg.
There are the noble horses which have been bred in Neustadt (Dosse) for decades. And then there is also the aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal, and the legendary Herr Ribbeck auf Ribbeck im Havelland. Marauding knights and gruesome battles are also part of the history of Dosse, Havel and Rhin. Stage maps and town maps help you find your way around.Length: 316 kilometresStart/finish: NauenLogo/route sign: Logo with town silhouetteHow to get there:Train: Take the RE2 from Berlin Zoologischer Garten to Nauen (about 30 minutes).Car: Take the B5 from Berlin to Nauen (about 1 hour).Route: Nauen, Kremmen, Gransee, Rheinsberg, Wittstock (Dosse), Kyritz, Wusterhausen (Dosse), Neustadt (Dosse), Rhinow, Rathenow, NauenPoints of interest/background information:Nauen: Martin-Luther-Platz and St. Jakobi churchKremmen: Barn districtGransee: Guard housesRheinsberg: Moated castleWittstock/Dosse: Town wallKyritz: historical building ensemble of the market squareWusterhausen/Dosse: St. Peter and Paul churchPossible combinationsHavelland Cycle PathRuppin Lakes and Culture Cycle PathBerlin-Copenhagen long-distance cycle routeHavel Cycle PathOder-Havel Cycle PathTour BrandenburgBishop’s TourDosse Towns TourTrail conditions/surface: not specifiedMaps/Literature:Reiseführer zur Radroute Historische Stadtkerne 2 “Von Rheinsberg bis Ribbeck - Fontanes Zauberschloss und der Traum vom Fliegen”, Verlag terra pres, Auflage: 1 (Juli 2019), ISBN 978-3-942917-41-4, Euro 10“Potsdam - Havelland - Fläming: Fahrradkarte”, 1:70000, KOMPASS-Karten; Auflage: 3 (1.
