Houseboats in Germany
Houseboats in Germany are on the Mecklenburg lake district and the Brandenburg waterways, the largest connected inland cruising ground in Europe: the Müritz, Plau, the Havel and the lakes north of Berlin, from Waren, Rechlin, Fürstenberg, Zehdenick and Berlin itself. Most boats go out on a charter certificate issued after a briefing at the base, so no licence is needed. A week is lakes, small towns, swimming off the stern and a lock or two a day.
