Best places: Historical landmarks in Brandenburg

👍👍 The pearl of all gardens in the Berlin and Potsdam area is not very large and entry is even free. A place where the spirit of the great gardener and gardening philosopher Karl Förster can be felt. There are endless details to discover in each of the 7 seasons. For some time now, the villa has even...

Late 18th-century royal summer residence, clad in red Silesian marble & set in a lakeside park.

😐 Im gesamten ist es dort sehr angenehm. Man sollte jetzt nicht das absolute Highlight erwarten, immerhin sprechen wir hier von einem Denkmal. Aber und das muss man auch erwähnen, die Anlage ist unglaublich gut gepflegt. Wenn man oben auf der Aussichtsplattform angekommen ist, hat man einen tollen Bli...
