グリープニッツ湖の湖・トップ4

Very cool look 😎

The narrow, L-shaped Griebnitzsee lies in a glacial trough and is around three kilometers long. It borders the Berlin district of Wannsee to the north and the Potsdam district of Babelsberg to the south. There, at the southernmost point of the lake, is the Griebnitzsee train station at the eastern end of Neubabelsberg.

The 2.5 kilometers on this side of the Griebnitzsee are, in my opinion, the most beautiful on the lake. However, the well-developed path does not always lead directly along the shore. This means that the lake is not always easy to see, especially in summer when there is a lot of vegetation. 😉 However, the path is very shady. 👍 During my hike on June 18, 2024, there was not a single bench on this section. Which is of course a shame. 😞

Wonderfully developed paths, also accessible with a cargo bike or stroller

Station 1931 The station was built in 1874 on the Berlin-Potsdam Railway for the development of the residential area of Neubabelsberg; hence its original name, Neubabelsberg. It opened on June 1 of the same year. The first station building was a reconstructed wooden pavilion by Kyllmann & Heyden, which had been erected the previous year as the German House at the Vienna World Exhibition. The station building, which still stands today, was designed by Günter Lüttich in 1931. On April 1, 1938, the station was renamed Babelsberg-Ufastadt due to its proximity to the ever-expanding Ufa film complex.[1] At the end of World War II, the Teltow Canal Bridge near Kohlhasenbrück was blown up, resulting in the suspension of S-Bahn service between Zehlendorf and Babelsberg-Ufastadt from April 1945 to June 15, 1948.[2]

As of March 2024, the riverside path between Klein Glienicke and Wannsee is closed due to forestry work and the risk of falling branches. There were no restrictions on jogging on the path itself (I heard...)

Border station The station was renamed Griebnitzsee in 1949. From 1952, Griebnitzsee served as a control station. From 1961 to 1989, the station was closed to local traffic, and until 1990 it served as a border station and border crossing point (GÜSt, passenger traffic) of the GDR. Boarding and disembarking at Griebnitzsee station was prohibited for transit traffic through the GDR to and from West Berlin. Interzonal traffic between West and East Germany was carried out via the Berlin Stadtbahn. Later, interzonal trains were routed via the Berlin Outer Ring (including the Aachen–Potsdam–Görlitz and Munich–Leipzig–Potsdam–Rostock train pairs), thus serving exclusively for transit traffic between West Berlin (Berlin-Wannsee, Zoologischer Garten, Friedrichstraße) and West Germany from/to Schwanheide/Büchen (Hamburg, Northern Germany) until 1976 Marienborn/Helmstedt (Hanover, West Germany) Gerstungen/Bebra (Hesse, Frankfurt am Main, Saarbrücken) Probstzella/Ludwigsstadt (Southern Germany)
