The Rheinsberg lake area with its many large and small lakes is located in a varied, hilly forest landscape between the villages of Rheinsberg , Menz and Fürstenberg / Havel . It is the southwestern part of the Neustrelitz Kleinseenland , but has no natural connection to the waters adjacent to the north. The Rheinsberg lake area is connected to the rest of the Neustrelitz Kleinseenland via the Müritz-Havel waterway and the Obere Havel waterway through the Wolfsbrucher Canal with lock . It drains over the Rhin south to the Havel and is bordered to the south by Ruppiner Schweiz . The majority of the area belongs to the Stechlin-Ruppiner Land nature reserve . The Stechlin nature reserve, founded in 1938, is well known .

The main lakes

The most famous lake in the Rheinsberg lake area is the Great Stechlinsee . Other larger lakes that belong to the Rheinsberg lake area: Braminsee , Dollgowsee , Schlabornsee , Grienericksee , Nehmitzsee , Großer Prebelowsee , Rheinsberger See , Roofensee , Schwarzer See , Tietzowsee , Großer Wummsee , Großer Zechliner See and Zootzensee .

Rheinsberger and Zechliner waters

Within the Rheinsberg lake area, the Rheinsberger Gewässer (RbG) and Zechliner Gewässer (ZeG) chains of lakes were made navigable with a length of around 21 kilometers and connected to the Müritz-Havel waterway via the Wolfsbruch lock .

The Rheinsberg waters branch off in the Kleiner Pälitzsee from the Müritz-Havel waterway. At the Pälitzbrücke - the former border between Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Prussia, today's border between the federal states of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg - the not quite three kilometer long lock canal begins with the Wolfsbruch lock (in GDR times: Hüttenkanal , from 1998: Wolfsbrucher Channel). This is followed by the Great Prebelowsee, the short Prebelow Canal, the Tietzowsee, the 900 meter long Hüttenkanal (also Jagow Canal), the Schlabornsee and the 1.5 km long Schlaborn Canal, the Great Rheinsberger See and the 800 meter long Rheinsberger Canal and the Grienericksee up to its southern end at kilometer 13.25. The Rheinsberg waters also include the Dollgow Canal, which branches off from the Schlabornsee to the southwest, with Dollgowsee with a length of three kilometers. Until 1990, the Bikow Canal, which branches off to the east from the Schlabornsee, and Bikowsee with a length of 1.5 kilometers, belonged to the Rheinsberg waters.

From the Tietzowsee, the Zechliner waters branch off to the west with the short Zootzenkanal, the Zootzensee, the 1.8-kilometer-long Repenter Canal, the Großer Zechliner See, the short Zechliner Kanal and the Schwarzen See (also Kleiner Zechliner See) to its southwest end at kilometer 8.49.

Rheinsberger Waters and Zechlin Waters were Prussian waters, only from 1921 to 1924 they were Reich waterways. From 1990 they are federal waterways and from 1998 belong to the so-called other inland waterways of the federal government. The Eberswalde Waterways and Shipping Office is responsible.

geology

Historically, the Rheinsberg Lake District belongs to the Mecklenburg Lake District (Mecklenburg-Brandenburg Lake District).

The area lies between the moraine courses of the Frankfurt Staffel and the Pomeranian Stadium of the Vistula Ice Age and was formed in the course of this Ice Age about 12,000 years ago in the river valleys and sanders of the Pomeranian Stadium. It has a relatively agitated relief for Brandenburg standards. There are flat sand areas, undulating ground moraines and elongated terminal moraines . In between are the gullies and dead ponds . These lakes usually do not have natural above-ground inflows and outflows. Later they were partly connected by canals.

climate

Climatically, the area differs from the surrounding area due to the relief and the many lakes. There are many islands of cold air. The cold air collects in hollow molds and it is colder overall than in the surrounding area. Early and late frosts are common. The mean total precipitation is relatively high at 563 mm (Rheinsberg). The climate is characterized by high humidity and low average summer temperatures.

vegetation

The forests in this area are very varied. The forests of potentially natural forest communities include beech and beech and sessile oak forests . Today pine and mixed pine forests predominate . There are boiler bogs today in smaller depressions and hollow forms .

Others

The area also became known through its mention in Theodor Fontane's " Walks through the Mark Brandenburg " .
