Machnower Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Teltow Canal is, so to speak, an east-west connection, which is ideal not only for ships but thanks to the adjacent path for cycling away from the main roads.

Kleinmachnow Lock

Highlight • Structure

At the Teltow Canal, the
Barges pulled by locomotives. There are hardly any remains of tracks - only at the bridge head near the former Teltow shipyard in Zehlendorf can the last traces of the tracks on which the towing locomotive drove along the Teltow Canal be found.
During the Second World War, the towing facilities were destroyed and after the end of the war, some of them were dismantled by the victorious powers. Since shipping was also interrupted, reconstruction was out of the question. This ended the days of towing along the canal. Of the original 20 locomotives, only two remain. A locomotive is in the Technology Museum in Berlin.

October 13, 2025,Wanderung um den Machnower See
The first sunny day after so many gray days. Although I was quite tired and had to work at my desk, the sun finally lured me out into the autumnal outdoors.

A short morning hike in Kleinmachnow with a 3 year old (child carrier). The place is quiet, lots of greenery. Nice to walk next to the canal.

Babelsberg Filmpark is close by so we went there afterword.
A great walk to Hakeburg and Machnower See with lock in bright sunshine.

accidentally walked the loop called "bäketal" on the bottom right twice and only noticed it after the second round, so much for mental health.

Apart from that, I really like the way back north along the lake.
