The palaces and manor houses of the Ruppiner Seenland Lake District

The tour takes you through the towns, meadows and forests of the Brandenburg Marches. The palaces in Oranienburg, Liebenberg and Hoppenrade give the tour its distinctive charm. A detour to Meseberg takes you to another palace – the Federal Government guest house.
