The best dog-friendly hikes and walks in Ostprignitz-Ruppin

The Protestant Schinkel Church in Neuruppin-Wuthenow, built in the late Classical style, was consecrated on December 17, 1837. As its name suggests, the church was designed by the architect and urban planner Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841), who was born in Neuruppin on March 13, 1781. A painting of the oldest known view of Neuruppin is particularly noteworthy. The first timber-framed church for the German settlers in Wuthenow was built around the year 1200 on the Lankeberg hill. A record from 1541 identifies the village church as the mother church of the Neuruppin parish church; therefore, until the beginning of the 20th century, the superintendents of Neuruppin also served as pastors of Wuthenow. The church underwent gradual renovations starting in 1991. The church building stands roughly parallel to the village street and is a plastered structure with a gable roof. The exterior dimensions of the nave, including the tower, are 21.30 m long and 12.92 m wide, while the interior width is 11.30 m. Daylight enters the church interior through four arched windows on each of the two long sides. Two symmetrically arranged arched windows are located on the chancel side. The church windows, set in white wooden frames, are not stained glass. The entrances to the interior are located on the west side, which features three towers. The 19.30 m high main church tower, with its two side towers housing the bells, is as wide as the entire nave up to the first floor. https://www.goruma.de/staedte/neuruppin/neuruppin-sehenswuerdigkeiten

The city's first fortifications were built during the 13th century using palisades and a rampart and ditch system, which were later replaced by walls and ramparts. Twenty-four watchtowers and two tall towers further reinforced the city walls. Three gates were added: the Altruppin/Rheinsberg Gate in the north, the Berlin/Bechlin Gate in the south, and the Sea Gate in the east. The city was completely encircled by walls towards the end of the 15th century. The city wall is still almost entirely intact today. https://www.goruma.de/staedte/neuruppin/neuruppin-sehenswuerdigkeiten

The i2030 project is actively promoting the upgrade of the Prignitz Express (RE6). Several sub-measures are planned. One of these is the infrastructure expansion between Velten and Neuruppin. After the expansion, two train connections per hour will be offered between Neuruppin and Berlin instead of the current one. Longer vehicles with more seats will also be available. To this end, the platforms at the Neuruppin Rheinsberger Tor station and all other stations between Neuruppin West and Velten will be extended to 145 meters. More information on all sub-measures can be found at https://www.i2030.de/nordwest/.

Beautiful fieldstone church opposite the old manor house, which is also worth seeing.

Well, I wasn't that impressed. I prefer the fieldstone churches in the villages.

Beautiful old fieldstone church diagonally opposite the historic manor house.

Beautiful old manor house. There are many activities for young people here: absolutely fantastic.

A beautiful little church. Right next door is a village museum—the old fire station—and an information board about the village's history.
