ケッツィン/ハーフェルの絶景の山頂・トップ6

The short walk to the observation tower is absolutely worthwhile.

After years without any visible progress, a successful exhibition facility was built in 2015 and 2016 in the heart of Schenkenberg on the site of the former telegraph station, a lasting landmark for the entire town. Indispensable for this were the highly dedicated instigator Wolfgang Groch and a large number of selfless volunteers who lent their hands intensively and donated substantial sums of money.

Because of the beautiful view over Potsdam and the surrounding area as far as Berlin, Friedrich Wilhelm IV had the Belvedere built on the Pfingstberg according to his own plans. The Italian-influenced building was carried out from 1847 by Ludwig Persius, Friedrich Stüler and Ludwig Ferdinand Hesse. Originally planned as a large observation palace complex with open staircases and water features, the Belvedere was completed in 1863 in a much smaller form. After 1945, the building fell into disrepair. The Belvedere on the Pfingstberg has been fully accessible to visitors again since the end of June 2003. In recent years, the east tower, the eastern and northern colonnade and the east arcade of the Belvedere have been extensively reconstructed. Today, tens of thousands of visitors a year enjoy "Potsdam's most beautiful view" from the palace towers in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, over 100 metres above sea level 😊...

"Belvedere" means "beautiful view". From the Klausberg there are charming views across Sanssouci Park to the hilly landscape with many lakes and the city of Potsdam. The two-storey rotunda with two balconies and a dome crowned by the will of Frederick the Great was modeled on an attempt to reconstruct Emperor Nero's imperial palace in Rome.
