Höllengrund Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Höllengrund is a long depression in the terrain, a canyon without a drain. The rainwater and groundwater form swamps and pools. Romance in the middle of the inhabited area.
The hiking path along the marshland follows the Höllengrund to the end at a pond. From there you can seamlessly pass into the Wildau spa gardens.

Path to Funkerberg Königs Wusterhausen

Highlight • Monument

The cradle of German radio. The Funkerberg (formerly Windmühlenberg) is an elevation up to 67.5 meters high, partly wooded, in the northwest of Königs Wusterhausen in Brandenburg. Starting in 1911, the German Army's signal troops erected extensive broadcasting facilities and a radio barracks on the approximately 130-hectare site.

On December 22, 1920, Germany's first radio broadcast was transmitted here with a Christmas concert, earning the Funkerberg the title "Cradle of Radio". In memory of this event, the Königs Wusterhausen Radio Technology Museum moved into one of the transmitter buildings in 1993. The buildings and technical facilities are largely listed as historical monuments. Barracks buildings and the riding hall have been converted into the residential complex "Am Funkerberg" since 2014.

Königs Wusterhausen Palace

Highlight • Castle

The small castle stands on the former site of a moated castle and dates back to the 16th century in its current form. King Frederick William I spent much of his youth here and repeatedly fled to the idyllic Wusterhausen during his reign. His numerous visits and hunting trips to the castle earned the town the nickname "Königs Wusterhausen."

Today, the castle houses a museum. The centerpiece of the exhibition are 40 paintings painted by the king himself. After visiting the castle, you can stroll through the beautifully landscaped castle gardens. The former outbuildings surrounding the castle now house the castle café.

More information about the castle can be found at spsg.de/schloesser-gaerten/objekt/schloss-schlossgarten-koenigs-wusterhausen.

December 17, 2022,Zeuthen- Schloss 🏰 Königs Wusterhausen- Wildau 🥾

Went to explore a bit outside of Berlin... learned a bit of history at the radio tower & visited the castle in Königs Wusterhausen. Unfortunately, there were a lot of urban routes on the way back... so we went back to the water, where the beavers were busy. In the evening we had a nice Greek restaurant in Zeuthen 💪🏽🤘🏽🥾

December 31, 2024,Silvestertour: Zeuthen - KW - Zeuthen

The last day of the year spoiled us once again with lots of sunshine. I was also 3 km short of the nice round number of 1,000 for all Komoot hikes this year.
