Beetzsee offers its visitors a wealth of tourist attractions. One of the highlights is Ribbeck Castle, which was built in the 19th century and now serves as a museum. The historic old town of Brandenburg an der Havel with its medieval buildings and narrow alleys is also worth a visit.

If you are interested in culture, you should definitely visit the Lehnin Monastery - it is considered one of the most important Romanesque buildings in Germany. In the summer months, numerous cultural events take place, including concerts on the market square or outdoor theatre performances.

Culinary Beetzsee also has a lot to offer: Why not try regional specialities such as Spreewald gherkins or Brandenburg game dishes in one of the cosy local restaurants.

For outdoor enthusiasts, there are many opportunities for active leisure activities here. In spring and summer, you can take bike tours along the Havel River or hike through the nearby forests. In winter, ice skating on the frozen lake and tobogganing around the Beetzseeblick are enticing.

Even if it rains, you don't have to stay idle: The thermal baths in Brandenburg an der Havel offer relaxation and recreation, while the Spreewelten Bad in Lübbenau is a true paradise for water rats.

There are many beautiful places to discover in Beetzsee - the lakeside promenade by the lake and the idyllic castle park are particularly recommended. Whether you are travelling alone or with family: Beetzsee is definitely worth a trip and will give you unforgettable memories.

    Eine lohnenswerte Runde. Dies gilt besonders für die Abschnitte am Breitlingsee und die sehr abgeschiedene Passage zwischen Gallberg und dem Beetzsee. Weniger reizvoll ist die Passage zwischen der B1 und Havelsee. Erwähnenswert ist das italienische Restaurant in der Nähe der Fähre bei Pritzerbe mit seinen tollen Öffnungszeiten.

    Eine Strecke, die sicherlich zu den attraktiveren in der Region gehört. Dies liegt auch daran, dass es sich um einen der wenigen Rundkurse handelt, die man in dieser Gegend an einem Tag erradeln kann. Der Höhepunkt auf der Route ist sicherlich in Päwesin das Cafe BackWahn. Hier findet man Backwaren, welche innerhalb eines Umkreises von 50 km ihresgleichen suchen. Dies gilt nicht nur für die Qualität, sondern auch für die Preise. Dies spiegelt sich an den langen Schlangen, die sich bisweilen vor diesem Cafe bilden. Auf der Westseite des Sees standen wir plötzlich und ohne jegliche Vorankündigungen vor einer Barke, die den Weg absperrte. Hier konnte man entweder umkehren und einen langen Umweg nehmen (der allerdings nicht ausgeschildert war) oder sich über die Sperrung hinwegsetzen. Auf der Ostseite ist die Streckenführung über die L91 etwas einfallslos. Hier würde ich dazu raten, die Route einfach in Richtung See zu verschieben, allerdings auf die Gefahr hin, auf Plattenwegen zu landen.

    Trotz vieler straßenbegleitender Abschnitte eine nette Feierabendtour. Falls ihr vor einem Spargelfeld landet, unbedingt außerhalb umfahren, sonst ist der Sand euer Feind.

    Landwirtschaftlich schöne Tour! Konnte sogar 2 Störche erblicken. Leider auf geschätzten 1-2 km sandiger Boden, der bei Trockenheit zum Absteigen zwingt.
