Plane River

It originates about 2 km west of Raben. On the more than 60 km long run to the confluence with the Breitlingsee near Brandenburg an der Havel, the stream only overcomes 40 meters in altitude. The resulting gentle incline caused the tarpaulin to naturally meander.

The tarpaulin is a left, around 61 km long tributary of the Havel in Brandenburg (Germany). Your catchment area has an area of 639 km². It is the largest of the four major natural rivers on the north side of the Hohe Fläming, which include the tarpaulin and its tributary Temnitz, the Buckau and the Verlorenwasser.

In the Planetal, the hiking trail usually runs a little further away from the tarpaulin, but at this point you come directly to the river.
