With plenty of time on your hands, a round trip on a houseboat from Müritz via Berlin, Potsdam, Brandenburg an der Havel and Schwerin is well worthwhile. Take the Upper Havel Waterway via Fürstenberg and Zehdenick to the Havel-Oder Waterway. Passing Oranienburg, the route heads towards Brandenburg via Potsdam. Depending on your time and wishes, you can also plan a detour via Magdeburg. Then it’s down the Elbe via Wittenberge and Dömitz into the Müritz-Elde waterway. Here, too, you can take a detour via Schwerin. With Plau am See you have reached the Mecklenburg lakes again and sail back towards your home port via Malchow and Waren.
