    Great little park, full with animals and birds. Very close to the city, easy to reach by car, train or bike.

    Beautiful nature protected area not far away from Berlin city center. It is way bigger then I thought, and connected all the way north to Schönower Heide. Better come with bike!

    Nice little walk just behind Karow. There is a small car park on Bucher Straße where you can park then do a nice loop back to the car. It's mostly gravel track the whole way round with a few little dirt tracks you can explore along the way.

    I recently visited Karow Ponds for a hiking trip and overall, I had a great experience. The park has a beautiful lake that offers a stunning view and great photo opportunities. The hiking trails were well-marked and provided a good challenge without being too strenuous. However, during my visit, I did encounter some snakes!

    A good place to walk and enjoy the nature. I don’t like that there aren’t many activities. Still a good place to look at the lakes.

    In the far NorthEast of Berlin you can find a lot of hidden places, some has a historical background, some a more common to the city history. The hidden lakeside of Karow is just one which combine the beauty of nature with the histroy of a rising city. Most of the area was part of the waste water management of the city of Berlin in the 19th and 20th century. Now it's one of the biggest natural forest areas which is open for public. All the locals love to walking there with their families at every season of the year. For biking it's also very big and you can stay there for hours, finding out any new way into the forest or to the next lake. The more interesting facts are the dozens of landart scultures from different artists. Some scultures are easy to understand, others are scrap, and some are very hidden. Walking while looking for the nature is very satisfying. You will enjoy every minute of quiet nature. The best thing, you can't get lost in that park, they have information and guide sign at every crossing and nevertheless, there are hundreds of urban population seeking for recreation, indeed they are Berliners in good mood! That's the real curiosity!

    I had a really great time here. Easy hike and a cool place to get away from the city for a while. As a hiking enthusiast I really enjoyed it. You can also see a fee cows and get a good sight to the lakes which have ducks and swans.

    Just lovely, a wetland interlaced by pleasant paths, not overcrowded, with a reliable collection of waterfowl, some not often seen in these parts.
