Description
Village Outdoor – Winter around Potsdam
with Harms Wulf and Thomas Fischer
To slowly bid goodbye to the year 2024 together we will take a winter walk through Potsdam’s beautiful world heritage parks and gardens. We can enjoy the winter atmosphere of generous landscape gardens, let our gaze wander across the lakes and reflect on the layers of history present everywhere. To warm up, there will be hot drinks and cake available for purchase at a scenic café at the end of our tour.
We will meet at Potsdam Hauptbahnhof (Potsdam Central) and head towards Park Babelsberg from there, always with a view to the water. The route continues across Glienicker Brücke, the famous ‘bridge of spies’ from the cold war, and on across the Swan Bridge to Cecilienhof Palace, the youngest of the Prussian Palaces, located in the Neue Garten. We touch the extraordinary colony of ‘Alexandrowka’ and conclude our hike at Krongut Bornstedt. At the Café there, we can warm up and chat a little more in a relaxed atmosphere.
What’s Village Outdoor?
Village outdoor Events are monthly meetups for the we are village community and their friends to enjoy outdoor activities in and around Berlin.
Activities include forest hikes, bike tours, swimming in lakes, sightseeing, and kayaking. Each month features a free and easy walk or hike in Berlin or its surrounding areas, accessible by public transport.
Harms Wulf Harms already knows Berlin from the times of division. Since then, he has explored the urban and natural spaces of Berlin and its surroundings both professionally and privately.
For Thomas Fischer outdoor activities and movement through nature are important to connect with his self and the world around him. Therefore, he supports outdoor activities at Village and brings 20 years of experience in exploring Berlin and Brandenburg to the programme.
