Very impressive lost place. I can only agree with the others.

If your stomach is rumbling while you're out and about, this is the place to go. The beer is decently cold, the food is delicious, and the people are very friendly. Thumbs up!

The R1 cycle path is a beautiful one. It's very easy to cycle and offers many photographic highlights. I enjoy using this cycle path again and again.

It will be interesting to see what will emerge here after restoration.

The Beelitz sanatorium is a testimony to German history, from the Wilhelminian era to the division of Germany...

The former hospitals consisted of four quadrants, each with separate female and male patients and non-infectious and infectious patients. Only one of the quadrants for female patients can be visited. The rest have been converted into condominiums. From 1945 to 1994, the clinic served the Red Army as a hospital. After that, it fell into disrepair before being converted into a treetop walk with a lost place. The tours are highly recommended.

The visit was unplanned for us, so we had no opportunity to take part in one of the guided tours… but it was still very interesting and the entrance fee is worth it
