Lake Ruppin covers an area of 8.25 km² and is 14 km long, making it the longest lake in Brandenburg. Its maximum depth is approximately 24 m. A roughly 25 km long circular path leads around the lake, inviting hikers and especially cyclists to explore. To the south of the lake lies Wustrau, a village of about 1,100 inhabitants, which is well worth a visit. The lake receives its water from the Rhin River via the Zermützelsee, the Tetzensee, and the Molchowsee at the Altruppin lock, and flows into the Bützsee via the Wustrauer Rhin. https://www.goruma.de/staedte/neuruppin/neuruppin-sehenswuerdigkeiten

The monument to Frederick William II was dedicated by the citizens of Neuruppin to the former King of Prussia for his work on the reconstruction of the city after the Great Fire in 1787. It stands prominently in Neuruppin's city center on Schulplatz, opposite the Old Gymnasium. The original monument by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Christian Friedrich Tieck was inaugurated on August 26, 1829. The current sculpture of Frederick II is a replica of the original. https://www.wikiwand.com/de/articles/Denkmal_Friedrich_Wilhelm_II.

A magical place is the birthplace of Theodor Fontane at Karl-Marx-Straße 84. The favorable acquisition of a pharmacy lured Louis Henri and Emilie Fontane from Berlin to Neuruppin in 1819. The family's apartment was on the 1st floor. Theodor Fontane was born here on December 30, 1819. The Fontane House is privately owned, but the pharmacy with the golden lion on the facade still serves today. https://www.tourismus-neuruppin.de/kultur-erleben-neuruppin/sehenswertes-neuruppin/113-loewenapotheke-fontane-haus-neuruppin

True to the inscription under the gable, "CIVIBUS AEVI FUTURI" - "To the citizens of the future age," the Old Gymnasium combines education and culture under its roof, both then and now. Built in 1790 according to plans by Philipp Bernard Francois Berson and Bernhard Matthias Brasch, the school's floor plan resembles a baroque palace. Among those who attended school here were the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the writer Theodor Fontane, the painter Wilhelm Gentz, the sculptor Max Wiese, the poet Georg Heym, and the poet Eva Strittmatter. Today, the Old Gymnasium houses the city library and the district music and youth art school. It is also the headquarters of the Theodor Fontane Society and serves as a campus for the medical and psychology departments of the Brandenburg Medical School. https://www.tourismus-neuruppin.de/kultur-erleben-neuruppin/sehenswertes-neuruppin/110-altes-gymnasium-neuruppin

On the church square, directly behind the parish church of St. Mary, stands the monument to the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. It honors the city's famous son, who was born in Neuruppin on March 3, 1781. The childhood home of the future royal architect and city planner once stood on this site. The devastating city fire of 1787 destroyed the house, forcing his widow and her children to move into the Preacher's Widow's House. Schinkel's father was a superintendent and died of pneumonia shortly after the fire. The monument, erected in 1883, was created by the sculptor Max Wiese and depicts the architect holding a drawing of the Berlin Schauspielhaus. https://www.tourismus-neuruppin.de/kultur-erleben-neuruppin/sehenswertes-neuruppin/118-schinkel-denkmal-neuruppin
