Situated on the edge of the Westhavelland Nature Park, Pritzwalk offers a breathtaking landscape with picturesque forests and rivers. The town is known for its historic buildings from the Renaissance period such as the town hall or the church tower of St. Nikolai, which is considered the highest tower in Brandenburg.

Tourist attractions include the local history museum in the old town hall and the "Hans Fallada" culture house, where you can learn more about the famous writer. For art lovers, the Museum of Modern Art is also a must.

Cultural highlights and events take place throughout the year: The town festival in summer attracts many visitors, while the Christmas market at the end of the year spreads a contemplative atmosphere.

The culinary specialities of Pritzwalk include regional specialities such as game dishes or fresh bread from the local oven. You can indulge yourself in cosy cafés or restaurants and enjoy the local cuisine.

Outdoor activities are particularly popular here: In spring and summer, cycle paths along the Elbe invite you to tour the region. Canoeing on the rivers is also a great way for adventurous people to explore the surroundings. In autumn, on the other hand, a walk through the colourful forests of the region is worthwhile.

When it rains, there are still plenty of activities in Pritzwalk: Visit the local history museum or spend a leisurely day at the "Hans Fallada" culture house. A stop at one of the many cafés and restaurants is also a good option in bad weather.

But the most beautiful time here is in spring, when nature awakens to new life and everything is green and blossoming. But also in autumn, Pritzwalk shows its best side with the colourful deciduous forests.

Overall, Pritzwalk is definitely worth a trip - whether for cultural discoveries, culinary delights or outdoor activities!

    Die Tour lässt sich sehr gut reiten und verläuft vorwiegend auf Sandwegen durch lichte Kiefernwälder und Felder. Aktuelle Wegänderungen, 1. südlich von Pritzwalk, die Bahnquerung nach Giesendorf existiert nicht mehr, alternative Route über Kuhbier nach Wolfshagen. 2. die Weganbindung von Balow nach Klein Warnow ist nicht mehr durchgehend bereitbar, alternative Route von Balow nach Werle von dort nach Klein Warnow (Klein Warnow ist ein guter Startpunkt für die Tour) 3. Die Plattenburg wird zur Zeit (2020) nicht mehr bewirtschaftet, alternative Unterkunft Pension Rosenfeld. Die in einem weiteren Kommentar angesprochenen Brücke bei Perleberg lässt sich mit einem ruhigen Pferd gut bewältigen.

    Die Schlösser- & Burgentour ist eine sehr schön ausgearbeitete Tour. Meine Frau und ich waren sehr angetan von der wundervollen Landschaft. Die Unterkünfte waren gut gewählt. Es gab aber auch Kritik. Sicherlich ist es dem Umstand geschuldet, dass die Tour noch nicht geritten wurde. Im Bereich Perleberg geht die Tour über die B189. Diese Überquerung über die Schnellstraße führt über eine schmale Fußgänger-/Fahrradbrücke. Für unsere Pferde war die Brücke ungeeignet. Wir mussten die Pferde aufladen und konnten so das Hindernis umfahren. Ein weiters Handicap gab es im Bereich des Flusses Kathane, hier fehlt die Brücke schon seit Jahren. Auch waren einige Wege, die in der Karte eingezeichnet waren, mittlerweile umgepflügt. Trotz der genannten Hindernisse ist die Tour empfehlenswert.
