Historische Stadtkerne Route 2 Self-Guided: Stages, Accommodations & Map 2026
Historische Stadtkerne Route 2 is a circular route through Brandenburg, starting and finishing in Nauen. You ride via Kremmen, Gransee, Rheinsberg, Wittstock (Dosse) and Kyritz, then loop back through Rathenow. On the way it also takes in Wusterhausen (Dosse), Neustadt (Dosse) and Rhinow.
Historische Stadtkerne Route 2 is a circular ride out of Nauen, officially 316 km. You follow the loop via Kremmen, Gransee, Rheinsberg, Wittstock (Dosse), Kyritz, Wusterhausen (Dosse), Neustadt (Dosse), Rhinow and Rathenow back to Nauen. The appeal isn’t one single “top spot” — it’s the steady beat of town centres: in Nauen you swing by Martin-Luther-Platz and St. Jakobi Kirche, in Kremmen you’ve got the Scheunenviertel, and in Gransee the Wieckhäuser. Later you hit the Wasserschloss Rheinsberg, the town wall in Wittstock/Dosse, and in Kyritz the historic cluster of buildings around the Marktplatz; in Wusterhausen/Dosse it’s worth stopping at Sankt Peter und Paul Kirche. If you want regular culture stops and flexible day stages, this loop works well; officially there’s no info on surfaces or elevation profile. Planning your own tour? Use the towns as natural break and overnight points and build your stages around your time budget.
