The Schlosswirt Meseberg is a family-run hotel located in the former coach-builder's workshop and distillery of Meseberg Castle on the banks of the Huwenowsee lake. Since the restoration of Meseberg Castle and its handover as a guesthouse to the federal government in 2007, the adjacent buildings have been used as a hotel and restaurant. Otherwise, the magnificent backdrop of Meseberg Castle can be used for private conferences or celebrations.

Viticulture is probably not typical in this area around Gransee, but where a count or today the government resides, a vineyard is also established. It is certainly idyllic to look at and we enjoyed it.

Today, the Ruppiner Tor is used for art exhibitions. The key is available at the neighboring local history museum during opening hours.

In the Ruppiner Land region, several cycle paths run parallel to forestry roads, which are a joy to ride in the first few years. Unfortunately, most cycle paths are laid as a rather thin asphalt surface directly on the sandy soil after the topsoil has been removed. This leads to the first signs of root growth after just a few years, and after a longer period, such paths develop a washboard surface. Unfortunately, these paths are unsuitable for racing bikes or riders with correspondingly high speeds.

Most of the lakes in the Ruppiner Land region are worth a visit. They are surrounded by pine forests and, in good weather, reflect the typical North German sky.
