Adventures for sailors
The water-sport region is a sailor's paradise. Smaller sailboats are best suited for the shallow waters of the region; however, there are also many sections of these waterways appropriate for medium-draught boats.

An expanse of waterways between Potsdam and Caputh; toward the middle of the lake there is a railroad bridge crossing the lake, also well-suited for windsurfing.
Schwielowsee Lake
A gorgeous lake that Albert Einstein would sail around in his boat.

Chartering a sailboat
You can rent sailboats of different classes and sizes from the numerous charter companies that are distributed across the entire water-sport region. Most boats have a shallow draught, a retractable centre board and a mast that can be taken down in order to enjoy the variety of waterways in the area.
