August 24, 2025,Runde | Glienicker Brücke - Neuer Garten - Freundschaftsinsel - Park Babelsberg
My 100th komoot tour was themed around: Prussia's Splendor and Saxony's Glory.

For a change, today's tour wasn't about nature, but rather civilization. A wonderful tour between the splendor of past centuries and the historical legacy of our distant past.

A wonderful tour! The loop could have easily been extended. There would certainly have been some more interesting spots along the way, but since I was with a group and most people wanted to walk right by the water, I went along with it 🤣

Many Potsdam highlights within about 12km with refreshment stops.

An autumn hike in the opposite direction to my 100th Komoot tour, with a worthwhile stop at the Potsdam Dairy.

This time, the hike started in Babelsberg Park, led through Nuthe Park and across Friendship Island to the New Garden. It's fascinating how the same paths feel completely different in reverse – new perspectives, new vistas, new lighting.

This loop is highly recommended. You first pass the historic Cecilienhof Palace and the surrounding park. On the way back, you'll see Babelsberg Palace with its park and various outbuildings.

A very entertaining and beautiful tour of the Babelsberg Palace Park and surroundings. The weather was beautiful and the sun was beating down on the water. The only drawback was that not a single café was open yet ;)

What a tour. Small but beautiful, and packed with highlights.

Glienicke Hunting Lodge, Glienicke Palace, Glienicke Bridge, Kongnæs - Imperial Sailors' Station, Babelsberg Palace, the Holy Lake, the Deep Lake, the Havel River, and much, much more.

Simply absolutely amazing 🥰

I had wanted to do this for a long time. Today was the right day. Potsdam is right at the other end of Berlin. But with the S 7 you can get there in 70 minutes. Today I saw: the state parliament, the St. Nicholas Church, the Marstall, the Garrison Church (the tower), the Marble Palace, Cecilienhof, Glienicke Castle + …
