The border between West Berlin and the GDR used to run through the middle of the lake. It was marked by buoys. West Berliners were allowed to swim in the lake up to these buoys and walk on the ice in winter. Access was forbidden to GDR citizens - the Gross Glienicker See was practically part of the Wall.

The wall monument and the manor are definitely worth a visit! Danger! The section between the Wall Monument and the Ritterfelddamm is not accessible with racing bikes! (Length: approx. 200m) The cobblestones are in a catastrophic condition! From Groß Glienicke you can reach the wall monument by racing bike via the street "Am Park". The asphalt is in very good condition there.
