Giant Sequoia in Rühstädt Palace Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

The park behind the castle was originally laid out in the 16th century as a Renaissance garden, then in the 18th century it was converted into a baroque castle garden by the then lord of the castle von Grumbkow and finally transformed into a landscape park from 1823. There are a number of rare trees here, including a sequoia.

In the castle park is the Eiskellerberg, where food used to be cooled and stored. The ice for cooling was sawn out of the nearby castle pond in winter. Today, the ice cellar has been converted into a wintering place for bats and is used as a toboggan hill in winter and for egg trundling at Easter.

The Havel flows into the Elbe 20 kilometers north of Havelberg. A complex system of rivers and canals regulates the water level during floods.

Gnevsdorf Weir

Highlight • Structure

After catastrophic floods in the area of ​​the Havel area in the 18th and 19th centuries, an 11-kilometer-long canal with weir was built to build the backwater of the Havel, which has less gradient than the Elbe. There used to be some backwater with flooding to Rathenow.
