Hiking
You often hear the water before you properly see the structure: The Große Kaskade (Great Cascade) was part of the park's concept from the very beginning. It was designed by Erwin Barth and Heinrich Seeling between 1912 and 1913. Both consciously created a counterpart to the quiet lake here. While the lake appears rather still and expansive, the cascade brings movement to the space. This also had a practical benefit: The moving, and thus oxygen-enriched water, helped to reduce the heavy algae formation in the Lietzensee.
