Caputh Palace

Highlight • Castle

Caputh Castle is always beautiful. The small castle with the not very large park is located directly on Lake Templin, in the middle of Caputh. In the basement there is a blue tiled kitchen, which is said to be quite interesting.

Albert Einstein's Summer House

Highlight • Historical Site

Worth seeing. You can visit the house but only in the context of a "guide". When we were there, the only science philosopher of the GDR has explained to us his worldview, unfortunately we did not learn much about Einstein.
Worth seeing the house was anyway.

Grüner Weg Ridge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice ups and downs as an alternative to the asphalt of the road. The path inevitably comes down to the road before the crossing railway line. After a section along the road with the Strandbad Templin and the Restaurant Braumanufaktur, you can re-enter the path in the forest. It then leads directly to the Einstein–Sommerhaus.

View of Potsdam from Vorderkappe

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Kölle Park you have a great panorama of Potsdam. When the riverside path starting from Potsdam main station is repaired one day, even more hikers and cyclists will surely make their way to Hermannswerder Insel. - If you take the cable ferry, there is a nice circular walk along the lake (Havel).

February 6, 2025,ILC - Templiner See

ILC Brandenburg - Lake Templin was on the agenda for @Reni and me. A pleasant tour with some poetic geocaches, lots of graffiti and 2 VP.
Somehow the area seemed familiar to me in places, but it took a while to realise that the Mammut Berlin 100 had already taken me halfway around the lake.
Now we treated ourselves to …

August 8, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge Brandenburg - See 21 - Templiner See

There didn't seem to have been any rain during the night, but there was a passing thunderstorm. Everything was done right with the hotel, especially when I was enjoying the excellent breakfast. Just before eight I was ready to go, Lake Templin was waiting for me. Why is Lake Templin in Potsdam instead of Templin? Well, there it is called …

July 9, 2022,Potsdam – um den Templiner See

This circumnavigation of the lake is usually described as a bike tour, but is highly recommended as a hike. The shore path on the northwest side of the lake is of course incredibly beautiful and varied due to the constant proximity to the water. A piece of the 66 lakes hiking trail. There are a few places to stop for …

June 18, 2022,Potsdam Hbf- Caputh - Potsdam Hbf

I still needed 20 km for a hiking badge for this month, so I planned a small tour for myself. I left early because of the heat. But that didn't really help. At 7:00 a.m. we were already easily 24 °C and it was getting hotter and hotter. First I wanted to go to the Havelblick. From there it went …

October 20, 2024,2024-10-20 Schöne kleine Caputh-Tour

The fun Caputh Tour is one of the go-to tours in the Berlin area. Yes, Potsdam is next door for Berliners anyway. A lovely tour along the water, with a boat ride. And with the Templin brewery, you can expect a super nice location with good food and, with the Potsdamer Stange, one of the best beers in the world.

April 28, 2024,Potsdam - Templin - Caputh - Geltow rund Templiner See 2024-04-28 10:47

Coming from Potsdam main station, today's Sunday tour led towards Telegrafenberg, which was named after the optical telegraph station built there in 1832. Several observatories were built on the 94 m high hill in the 19th century. Today, the Albert Einstein Science Park and other research facilities are located there. Due to the lush vegetation, the adjacent high path offered …
