The tour starts at the train station, which is in keeping with the style of the villa town's country house buildings and gives a first impression of the relaxed atmosphere of the spa town. The tour leads past buildings steeped in history such as the church of the former villa colony. This is where boxing world champion Max Schmeling married his wife, actress Anny Ondra, in 1933. An architectural rarity is the listed Scharwenkahaus, now the first Brandenburg Music Museum. Some of the houses were given popular names such as "Egg House" (Villa PAROLO) and Stargazer Villa (Tetens Villa) due to their extravagant architecture, or they were named after famous spa guests such as Maxim Gorki (Gorki House). The dark log cabin looks as if it had come from a Russian fairy tale.  

Culinary delights are also provided with coffee specialties and delicious cakes in the ground-floor and easily accessible “Café Le Gateau Rose” or in the coffee roastery.

For those who can't get enough, a short detour to the Swedish house on the southern edge of the villa town is recommended. This striking wooden house in the Swedish style was built in 1911 by the porcelain manufacturer Schomburg for his Swedish wife to offer her a piece of home. The breathtaking view of the Scharmützelsee can still be enjoyed today! On the way back, the beer garden "Freilich am See" invites you to enjoy a cool drink right by the lake. If you want, you can jump into the clear water at the public bathing area right next to it.
