Exploring Brandenburg

Brandenburg is ideally suited for gentle exploration by
bicycle or car, and its proximity to Berlin allows the visitor
to make a one-day excursion to the capital. A whole day
should be allocated for visiting Potsdam and the castle
of Sanssouci, and another day for a boat trip in the PasewalkPasewalk
Spreewald. A visit to Cottbus can be
combined with an excursion to RostockRostock r k r k
