'Park Rheinsberg.'
The Rheinsberg castle and park are situated at Lake Grienerick, in the southern corner of the Mecklenburg lake plateau. This is where Prussian king Friedrich der Große (Frederick the Great) used to live as crown prince. Around 1900 the wealthy Berlin bourgeoisie discovered the baroque village as a health spa. As did writer Kurt Tucholsky, who got so excited about the place he situated his next novel there: "Rheinsberg - ein Bilderbuch für Verliebte" ("Rheinsberg, a picture book for lovers").
It made the town famous, and since the fall of the Berlin Wall pilgrimage to the city started once again, not by health seekers this time but by lovers! Photo Paul Smit.](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/139247608_jWg8B-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [GERMANY.MECKLENBURG 4]

'Schlögener Schlinge.'
After cycling, walking is the most popular activity along the Danube. For instance at the Donau-Höhen-Rundwanderweg (Danube Hills Path) between Passau and Linz. Favourite spot for a break is the viewpoint above the rivers's largest loop near Schlögen, nicely called Schlögener Schlinge.

'Gorbio.'
Gorbio, lying on the slopes behind Menton, is one of the most beautiful villages littoral at the Côte d'Azur. And that's saying something, because really, all villages here are picturesque.
