September 16, 2025,Berlin: Pfaueninselrundgang
Berlin's World Heritage Site - a gem away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Today @Bonnie24 and I started in the Wannsee district at the Nikolskoerweg car park and took the ferry across to Pfaueninsel.

The horticultural and architectural design of the 67-hectare Peacock Island began at the end of the 18th century under King Friedrich Wilhelm II and his mistress Wilhelmine Encke. They had the pleasure palace and the dairy built in the …

Easily doable with children, even for two people with a stroller. Parking is free, and the ferry for two adults and one child costs €12. Please note: only card payments or online tickets are accepted at the ticket machine on site!

You can also find wild peacocks on the island.

The fascinating landscape on the Peacock Island with the historically grown park is dominated by many mighty trees - including several hundred ancient oaks. In between, long grass meadows, reed beds and dry grassland provide a habitat for a wide variety of animal and plant species.

We took advantage of the beautiful weather for a short walk on Peacock Island. We stopped every now and then to enjoy the views. It's always beautiful here, too.

Excursion to a tourist highlight: the Peacock Island!
All the parking spaces around were occupied, a number of bicycles were parked in front of the pier and the bus regularly brought new visitors.
And although the castle was covered due to the renovation work, there are enough other interesting buildings. Many of the ancient trees are broken, but the island …

We had perfect spring weather for a trip to the little Pfaueninsel 🦚☀️ The Schloss is under renovations now... I thought it would happen one side at a time, but the entire building is hidden by tarps and scaffolding. But it doesn't matter, the rest of the island has lots to see! ☺️

The Pfaueninsel is located in the Havel in the southwest of Berlin and can only be reached by ferry. Cost: € 4 per adult (as of September 2021)

It is a 67 hectare landscape park and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990.
