Berlin - Treptow Park

(Local Name: Treptower Park) Treptow Park (area 230 hectares/570 acres) was a popular place of recreation for the people of Berlin even before it formally became a municipal park. The park and the adjoining Plänterwald were laid out in the style of an English landscaped park in 1876-88 by the first municipal Superintendent of Parks, Gustav Meyer, a pupil of the great landscape-gardener Peter Joseph Lenné. The Berlin Industrial Exhibition was held here in 1896, when the Archenhold Observatory was built.

Coming from the S-Bahn station, you will see on the left the River Spree, with the river port used by the Weisse Flotte (White Fleet), from which there are numerous boat services on the waterways of Berlin
