Frequently Asked Questions
On the Lehnitz side, at one of the busiest locks on the Oder-Havel Canal, at the northern edge of Berlin. Oranienburg town centre lies a few kilometres away, reached by shuttle, taxi or regional train.
No, several kilometres separate the mooring from the centre. A shuttle, taxi or regional train is needed. The shores of the Lehnitzsee, however, can be walked straight from the quay.
Two very different options. The baroque palace of Oranienburg and its 30-hectare park for a light call, or the Sachsenhausen memorial for a sober visit. The latter needs two to three hours and a certain inner readiness.
The oldest baroque palace in Brandenburg. Louise Henriette of Orange, the Dutch wife of the Great Elector Frederick William, received these lands in the 17th century and built a residence recalling her homeland: the town took her name, Oranienburg, the town of Orange.
Porcelain, paintings and a royal ceremonial silver collection among the richest in Prussia. The 30-hectare park, redesigned for a horticultural show, mixes formal parterres, an orangery and contemporary gardens, with playgrounds and fountains for families.
The former Nazi concentration camp north of town where more than 200,000 people were held between 1936 and 1945. The site is preserved as a national place of remembrance: reconstructed barracks, exhibitions, the silence of its paths. Entry is free.
Allow two to three hours and dress appropriately for a place of remembrance. The visit takes time and a certain inner readiness. Many passengers consider it, rightly, one of the most significant moments of their journey.
The Oder-Havel Canal, completed in 1914 to link Berlin to the Oder, crosses the Lehnitzsee here, a long lake edged with quiet beaches and wooden jetties. Paths under the pines, herons at the water's edge, the smell of warm resin: this is the Brandenburg of lakes and forests.
The euro. Shops in the centre and the palace take cards, but cafés by the marina and kiosks often prefer cash. The Sachsenhausen memorial charges no admission.
Berlin lies about 35 kilometres to the south, and some cruises offer a full-day excursion. Check the onboard programme: it is not a trip to improvise alone if the call is short.
