The Stechlin-Ruppiner Land Nature Park is dominated by Lake Stechlin, a 425-hectare, clearwater lake with a depth of up to 69 meters, home to the unique Fontane whitefish, a special species of fish. Here you'll find over 160 lakes, moors, and ancient beech forests, which in Germany otherwise only occur on five percent of their original area. The ancient beech forests provide a habitat for the goldeneye, which breeds in black woodpecker holes, as well as for rare beetles such as the stag beetle and the hermit beetle. Rare animal species such as the otter, the white-tailed eagle, and the kingfisher also call this park home. Tip: At the "Alte Oberförsterei" visitor center, you can discover the park's nature in an interactive exhibition and explore the sensory garden. Or how about a canoe tour along the pristine Rheinsberg Rhine? 🚣 🌊 🐞
