Babelsberg Park

Highlight • Natural

Nice park. You can spend a lot of time in it or just go through it. The many structures and lines of sight to the structures are interesting. That gives a lot of great effects. There is also an official swimming area below on the Havel. There are also bathing in many other places.

View of the Glienicke Bridge from Babelsberg Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Glienicke Bridge connects Berlin with Brandenburg and was known in the Cold War as a place of exchange for agents, since here West Berlin bordered on the GDR.

Even without any historical background, the view from the park over the lake (deep lake and Glienicker See) is beautiful!

View of Glienicke Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Babelsberg Park you always have a beautiful view of the Glienicke Bridge. 👍
The different shades of green of the paint on the two halves of the bridge reveal the border between Brandenburg and Berlin. 😉

Babelsberg Palace (Schloss Babelsberg)

Highlight • Castle

A beautiful palace with a rich history (not least due to the Cold War, as the palace was located directly on the border and many parts of the grounds and buildings were destroyed). A visit can be combined with countless other attractions (for example, the Glienicke Bridge, Klein Glienicke as a former GDR exclave, the Teltow Canal, and much more).

Steam Engine House

Highlight • Monument

Already quite bizarre, what elaborate "disguises" were once devised for utility buildings:
A pump house in Moorish style 😅
Today, however, the structure is an absolute eye-catcher!

The hunting lodge Glienicke is one of the oldest castles in the area. It was built in 1682 as a side residence of the Great Elector and today serves as a conference venue.
