The "House of Rivers" is an information center of the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve. The permanent exhibition showcases the natural treasures to be discovered along the Elbe and Havel rivers, how the rivers have been altered by humans, and why natural rivers are so valuable. The House of Rivers is located directly on the Havel River. It features a large outdoor area with a water playground and a wealth of information about the nature of the biosphere reserve. The grounds also include a renaturalized oxbow lake of the Havel, including the historic Petroleum Island, accessible via a footbridge.

The House of Rivers is a must-visit.

Here you'll learn everything you need to know about the restoration of the Havel-Elb estuaries and the flora and fauna.

It's beautifully laid out, very informative, and free of charge.
