Sanddüne im Grunewald

Pretty deep valley that has remained after the sand removal. A sandbox for giants.

already very strange big sand pit in Grunewald

Nature reserve and destination with history.

In the ice age here sand surfaces were deposited. These were for the important raw material sources for the construction industry during the division of Germany. This resulted in Grunewald a 18-acre pit, which is between 15 to 25 m deep. Where it reaches below the groundwater level, shallow waters and damp willow branches have developed.

In summer and in the sunshine you can feel a certain beach feeling in the middle of the forest.

The gravel pit has its charm in every season. Especially nice and exciting for children.
