Germany: Mecklenburg and Brandenburg
|
| Situated in the north east of Germany, the
beautiful network of lakes and canals of
Brandenburg and Mecklenburg form an idyllic
cruising area. Noted for its clean air and
waters, this area is as popular with boating and
watersports enthusiasts as it is with nature lovers. |
Impressive nature reserves are
home to an abundance of flora
and fauna, and the surrounding
forests, moors and green
pastures are perfect for picnics,
countryside walks and bicycle
rides. Splendid lakeside houses
and Baroque castles punctuate
the landscape and offer a glimpse
into the aristocratic lifestyles
of bygone eras. Try your hand
at kayaking or sailing on the
magnificent Lake Müritz or simply
enjoy cruising at your leisure,
stopping for a glass of refreshing
beer at waterside medieval
villages. City lovers will enjoy the
rejuvenated city of Berlin, with
its eclectic mix of designer shops
and historic monuments. |
