Passenger shipping

The waters of the Fürstenberg Lake District are served by the passenger ship MS "Möwe". The Michael Kreyss shipping company offers three trips, each starting from the town lake in Lychen. On the Woblitz round trip (duration about two hours), the ship calls at the Haussee in Himmelpfort and then returns. The Havel round trip (about three and a half hours) takes you via Lake Stolpsee and the Havel to Bredereiche and then turns back. The five-lake round trip also takes about three and a half hours and leads to the Schwedtsee lake in Fürstenberg/Havel. If you book by phone, you can get on the bus in Fürstenberg/Havel and return by bus from Lychen.

The transport of bicycles is possible on every round trip. Himmelpfort and Lychen are connected via the International Long Distance Cycle Route Berlin - Copenhagen and the Father Christmas Cycle Route.

Information on departure times and booking options are available from the Tourist Information Office in Fürstenberg/Havel.

Charter the "Concordia", the original replica of a historic cargo barge, and enjoy a traditional barge trip across the lakes around Fürstenberg/Havel. The Kaffenkähne played an important role in the lake district. They were utility vehicles built exclusively for transporting goods. All the necessities of life used to be transported on the waterways by these utility vehicles. They were crudely and economically built with the simplest means. Nevertheless, the elegance of the towering ship's ends and the high rigging is striking today when looking at old depictions.  

Experience the boatman's craft at first hand during the trip, listen to anecdotes about the history of the barge and navigation. You will literally experience a beautiful water world. You determine the course of the trip. Shore excursions with or without sightseeing, a stop for swimming in the middle of the lake or a lunch break in a shady bay ensure an eventful trip. To enjoy a contemplative boat trip in a nice community of family, club or colleagues is something very special. Boredom was completely unknown on the old barges and it has remained so until today!
