Discover the island of Potsdam from a completely different perspective. With scenic boat trips on the Havel and its numerous lakes, you can comfortably explore Potsdam's cultural landscape from the water. For example, Caputh, which boasts a palace built by the Great Elector and the modest house of Albert Einstein. Or Petzow on Lake Schwielowsee, whose castle, park, and church are considered one of the most beautiful rural ensembles of the first half of the 19th century.
In Sacrow, you can visit Sacrow Park and Sacrow House and the Church of the Saviour. Boat trips also extend to Werder, a destination well worth visiting, especially during the tree blossom season. For those who prefer active water sports, the lakes around Potsdam offer ideal opportunities.
The Babelsberg beach and the Templin forest beach provide not just beach loungers but also options for active recreation. The region features a well-developed network of cycling paths, many running directly alongside the Havel and its lakes. Fishing enthusiasts will enjoy the river Havel.
