Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Neustrelitz
Neustrelitz is a town built for a prince who wanted a new home. After a fire gutted the old hunting seat at Strelitz in 1712, the dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz moved to a site beside the Zierker See and, from the 1730s, laid out a baroque town in the shape of a star. Eight streets radiate from the market square, each ending in some small vista, and the geometry is still easy to see from the middle of the square. The palace burned in 1945 and was cleared away, but the park and orangery survive.

3. Rheinsberg
In 1736, Crown Prince Frederick of Prussia, the future Frederick the Great, moved into the palace at Rheinsberg with his wife, and he later said the years he spent here were the happiest of his life. Away from the stern court of his father, he read philosophy, played the flute, corresponded with Voltaire and surrounded himself with friends. The palace, rebuilt for him in an elegant Rococo style on the shore of the Grienericksee, is still the jewel of this small town, and the park around it, with its avenues, sculptures and views across the water, is perfect for a slow walk.
