Canoe tour of the Neuruppin lake chain

Paddling on the chain of lakes north of Neuruppin - a tour that is typical of Brandenburg's paddling paradise. The alternation between lakes and rivers and the seemingly untouched deciduous forests on the banks, broken up by idyllic bathing areas, provide the setting for a near-natural addling experience.
The tour can be done in one direction from Alt Ruppin to Hotel & Restaurant Boltenmühle. At the finish in Boltenmühle you can be picked up by the canoe rental company "Rhinpaddel" (where the tour for boat renters also starts). Or, after a refreshment, you can return by boat.

Length/duration: 11 kilometres / 4 hours

Start: Alt Ruppin, Kirchplatz
          It is easier to start the tour if you enter Brückenstr. 7 as the address. A narrow path leads from here to the entry                      point. The entry point itself is also very narrow.
Destination: Boltenmühle 
         The entry and/or exit point is on the grounds of the hotel complex (use is permitted by the hotel). It is also possible to                         hire canoes directly here.
