レーニッツ湖のおすすめMTBライド

ポツダムの蒸気機関館は、しばしば「モスク」とも呼ばれ、技術史とオリエンタルな雰囲気の建築を融合させた特別な建造物であり、バベルスベルク公園の真のアイキャッチャーです。

このツアーは自転車にとって困難です。

You'd think a steam power plant wasn't a place for strolling. And yet it stands there as if it had stepped out of an oriental fairytale—with turrets, battlements, and a chimney that stretches so delicately into the Havel idyll, as if it never wanted to disturb it, but only quietly participate. The Steam Engine House in Babelsberg Park is not an engine house. It's a romantic misnomer. Not only steam was generated here, but also a certain idea of splendor: King Frederick William IV didn't want a tubular structure with a soot-covered edge, but a building with poise. So, in true Prussian style, he let aesthetics triumph over function. And so the building not only pumps water, but also imagination into the mind: Some call it a mosque, others a fairytale castle. But nobody calls it an engine house. Too banal. Those who approach do so either on foot – along one of the park's gently winding paths – or from the water, on the excursion steamer that chugs by like a nostalgic salute to the leisure culture of the 1980s. And then it stands there. Wide, tranquil, defiant – yet playful. The long chimney is an exclamation mark against boredom.

The park of Babelsberg Palace is great to explore by bike.

Beautiful view from the park of the historic Glienicker Horn

Strenuous but beautiful tour 👍

Beautiful ups and downs on the ring jump. Steep drops to Lehnitzsee.

A look into the exciting history of this region, at a time when ruling families still had power in the state. As a gift to the remaining Russian choir members and in memory of Tsar Alexander, the colony was named Alexandrowka. Today it is part of the world cultural heritage.
