Robot Sculpture at Klein Sanssouci

Highlight • Monument

The "Little Sanssouci" villa complex consists of a castle-like main building, an outbuilding with a connecting corridor and a park-like villa garden. The miniature version of Potsdam's Sanssouci Palace, built between 1745 and 1747 by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, was built in 1905, 1912 and 1913, and the side wing was added in 1939. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was returned to its original owner, the German Post Office. Today it is privately owned, presumably by a "Transformers" fan. At least that is what the large sculpture in the driveway suggests.

Scharmützelsee

Highlight • Lake

The Scharmützelsee appears peaceful on this sunny late October day. Incidentally, it is not named after a brief military conflict, but rather takes its name from the Middle Low German corruption of the Old Sorbian word for buckthorn, Čremušn. Brandenburg's second largest lake is ten kilometers long, up to one and a half kilometers wide and a maximum of 29 meters deep.

View of the Scharmützelsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

With this view, you can understand why the Berlin poet Theodor Fontane called the lake "Märkisches Meer" when he visited in 1881. A name that is still used in tourism advertising today.

Kurfürstensteg Bad Saarow

Highlight • Bridge

The Kurfürstensteg is the extension of the Kurfürstenterrassen in the spa park out onto the Scharmützelsee. First through the reeds on the shore, then over the water, the almost seventy-meter-long footbridge leads onto the lake and offers impressive views.

The perfect place for a leisurely stroll along the lake. If you then take a look at the old mansions on the waterfront, you'll feel like you're in the Hamptons on Long Island - even if some of the houses still look a little abandoned.

Bad Saarow Water Tower

Highlight • Monument

It was built in 1906 as a water tower and was decommissioned many years ago. The old water tank at the top of the tower, which could store fifty cubic meters of water, was demolished and the former Bad Saarow water and electricity works was closed.

Stone Square

Highlight • Beach

The "Platz am Stein" is a popular bathing area and, due to the nearby children's facilities, also a popular play area for children.
