The Rathenow Gate Tower is a tower in the city wall of the old town of Brandenburg in Brandenburg an der Havel. It is one of the eight (and now four) remaining gate towers of the two cities of Brandenburg and is part of the medieval fortifications that once comprised ten gates.

Anyone approaching Lake Hohennauen on two wheels will be rewarded halfway – with a bridge that is more than just a crossing. The view from here is far-reaching: Lake Ferchesar shimmers to the left, Lake Hohennauen stretches out to the right, and in the middle, Lake Semliner stretches long and blue through the landscape. The bridge itself is comfortable: structurally separate paths for cyclists and pedestrians – that's almost a luxury in Brandenburg. Below, water lilies lap against old pilings, above, boats glide by like mobile viewing platforms. If you pause here for a moment, you'll see what defines the region: expanse, water, wind – and a soothing silence that doesn't have to be loud to make an impression.

This is the Hohennauer See near Hohennauen, which then becomes the Ferchesarer See.
