Rheinsberg Lake Region

It lies just to the south of the Neustrelitz Little Lakes Region, but has no natural link to the waterbodies to the north.

It drains southwards to the River Havel through the Rhin and is bounded by Ruppin Switzerland to the south.

The overwhelming part of the region belongs to the Stechlin-Ruppiner Land Nature Park.

[1] The Rheinsberg Waters branch into the lake of Kleiner Pälitzsee from the Müritz-Havel Waterway.

[3] The Rheinsberg Waters also include the 3 kilometre long Dollgow Canal and Dollgowsee that branch off the Schlabornsee towards the southwest.

Until 1990 the 1.5-kilometre (0.93 mi) long Bikow Canal and Bikowsee that branched off the Schlabornsee towards the east were also counted as part of the Rheinsberg Waters.

Climatically the region differs from the surrounding area due to its relief and its many lakes.
