Exploring the surroundings

And just a bit more than a stone's throw away and within easy reach by train or by car over the motorway are the city of Potsdam with the palace of Sanssouci and the lively capital of Berlin. The quiet and expansive natural setting of the Havelland has inspired great poets, artists and scientists like Fontane or Lilienthal for a long time, and the hilly landscape of the Fläming bordering to the south abounds with hiking trails.
