Bridge Over the Rhin

Rhin near Neuruppin and Altruppin. A very beautiful river along well-kept properties.

The river rises in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district, about 8.5 kilometers west of Rheinsberg. Its source lies on the southern edge of the Mecklenburg Lake District in the Rheinsberg Lake District, just a few hundred meters west of the small settlement of Wallitz. From there, the Rhin flows through several small and large lakes (Bramin, Kagar, Dollgow, Schlaborn, Rheinsberger, and Grienericksee) to Rheinsberg. This more traditional version is contradicted by scientific research, according to which the Rhin rises in Lake Twern, about twelve kilometers northwest of Rheinsberg, and flows via Lake Rochow, Lake Giesenschlag, Lake Zootzen, and Lake Tietzow into Lake Schlaborn.
