Over the hill and through the woods

The German novelist Theodor Fontane once rambled through the Havelland and wrote about it in his delightfully picturesque 'Ramblings through Brandenburg'. Today, the Havelland remains a great place for a hike. Roam the vast countryside. Keep your eyes open and you may spot some of the many storks, cranes and eagles in the area.
