Anyone setting out from the southern end of Lake Sacrow will quickly realize: this isn't a hike, this is a stroll – with views that repeatedly linger on the water. The approach from Potsdam via Krampnitz and the small parking lot in Sakrow offer no hint of what awaits. But as soon as you step onto the path along the shore, a silent natural cinema unfolds, scene after scene. The trail begins to turn left – through sparse forests, accompanied by the gentle gurgling of the lake and the whispering of the trees. And suddenly: a small restaurant, hidden in the greenery, like a reliable interjection on the way to Sacrow Castle. There – unless it's winter break – a cozy beer garden awaits. The perfect place for a break with a lake view. A few steps further, and you're standing in front of the Church of the Redeemer – photogenic, steeped in history, sublime. Here, the hike becomes a journey through time. And those who linger a little longer will be rewarded: with peace, space, and a sense of what "place of the soul" can mean. The return journey via Kladow, Gatow, and Havelchaussee isn't a journey home, but rather an echo. Drive slowly—you have to anyway. The Grunewald Tower is on the left, a beer garden on the right, and Lindwerder beckons with culinary promises. Those who like hearty food can take a detour to the Spinnerbrücke bridge: currywurst, fries, the sound of engines, and a hint of wanderlust. Lake Sacrow is no insider tip—but it's one of those places that never wears out. The water: clear as glass, with a visibility of over four meters. The entrance: shallow, clean, and inviting. In summer, get there early or simply escape into the water. A second, smaller bathing area is just a few meters away in the forest—shadier, quieter, ideal for those who prefer reading to talking. And amidst all this: traces of history. A memorial stele commemorates a dramatic escape across the lake during the time of German division. Those who hike here also hike through German history—almost unnoticed, but not without impact.

Park Sanssouci Sanssouci Park is a large park surrounding Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, Germany, built in the mid-1700s under Frederick the Great. After the vineyard was terraced and the palace was completed, the surrounding area was incorporated into the structure. A baroque flower garden with lawns, flowerbeds, hedges and trees was created. 3,000 fruit trees were planted in the hedge district. The greenhouses of the numerous nurseries housed oranges, melons, peaches and bananas. The goddesses Flora and Pomona, who adorn the entrance obelisk at the eastern park exit, were placed there to emphasize the connection of a flower, fruit and vegetable garden. Together with the Sanssouci Palace and other Neaby palaces and parks, the Sanssouci Park was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1990 because of its unique architectural unity and its testimony to 18th and 19th century landscape design in Europe.

Great park with lots to discover

Very nice and picturesque but very crowded in summer. Then only if you want to bathe yourself. A visit to the Öko-Werk (great bistro!) is well worth it.
