Brandenburg an der Havel – Nauen – Neustadt (Dosse) – Potsdam – Rathenow With almost the entire Havelland district, the cycle map includes the core of the Havelland as a historical landscape, meaning that the area surrounded by the Havel between Oranienburg in the north-east and Rhinow in the north-west is understood.

They built 10 castles and more than 200 settlements in Havelland.
