North Babelsberg Walking Tour
Our 7 kilometre self-guided walking tour of North Babelsberg will take you to some historic monuments in Babelsberg Park including Babelsberg Castle (Schloss Babelsburg). Walking time is about 1.5 hours without stops. Allow at least 2 to 3 hours for a leisurely experience and time to enjoy the monuments and views. The tour starts and ends at Babelsberg S-Bahn station.
The following steps will take you through the walk. There are multiple routes you can take through Babelsberg Park, so don't feel confined to the one we've mapped. You may prefer to add a few steps to walk closer to the water as you make your way north through the park.
If you love walking and have enough time, you can extend this walking tour by crossing over the bridge at the north end of the park, continuing to Glienicke Palace and walking across the famous Glienicke Bridge before doubling back. This adds about 3 kilometres or about 40 minutes of walking time to the tour. It is straightforward, so we highly recommend it if you have enough time.
