Hire a car in Pritzwalk with Hertz
Pritzwalk is a town in Brandenburg, at the centre of an important crossroads between Berlin and Hamburg. As well as having decent access to both of these major cities, Pritzwalk sits to the north of some of Brandenburg's most treasured natural parkland, including the Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve and the open countryside lying southwest towards the Elbe, making car hire in Pritzwalk a good way to see these sights. The tower of St Nicholas Church dominates the town's skyline and the impressive town hall adds a further sense of importance.
Hiring a car in Pritzwalk means you can use the town as a base from which to explore the delights of the wider Brandenburg region.
Most tourists will head for Market Street and St Nicholas Church, which tend to mark the commercial and cultural centres of Pritzwalk. Hiring a car in Pritzwalk is recommended as you're on the main road between Berlin and Hamburg: the A24. Berlin is around an hour and a half southeast of Pritzwalk, whereas Hamburg is a shade further in the opposite direction. Alternatively, the A19 takes you to Germany's northern coast and the beaches of Rostock in less than 90 minutes. It's the convenience of local travel which shows why Pritzwalk is a much-used stop-off point.
