Eventful city life and restorative recreation in the outdoors are combined in Berlin’s south-east, as well as Prussian history and technical advance. This district is well-known for its comprehensive cultural offers from traditional to experimental and for its beautiful restaurants and hotels often at the waterside.

With a length of almost 20km, “Spree” Berlin’s most important river builds an angle for the city’s longest district between “Kreuzberg” and Brandenburg’s boarders. Metropolitan flair in the northern part and almost countrified flair in the south create the charm of Berlin’s greenest region with the largest water surface area. Here in Berlin’s south-eastern region, tradition and modern life meet with every step. The “Hohenzollern” baroque water Palace in the historic old town center of Berlin-Köpenick is as magnificent as Berlin’s highest office tower parallel to the “Treptower Park” – only a couple of kilometers down the “Spree”.

 Berlin Treptow-Köpenick mainly is a green leisure-time oasis with country inns (often with moorings), restaurant ships, event restaurants, party locations and museums. At the “Spree” you will also find Berlin’s large industrial monuments from the period of promoterism, which are now filled with new life. The “Wissenschafts- und Technologypark Adlershof (WISTA)” (industrial and research park) with the “Humboldt University Campus” and many other research establishments, technology companies and media buildings is Europe’s most modern industrial park.

And Berlin’s largest forests can be found only a few kilometers away. In their heart: Berlin’s largest lake – the “Müggelsee” – and the capital’s highest hill (115 m). 7 lakes and 135 km of waterways build the center of Berlin’s water-sport services. Many labelled jetties are waiting for leisure-time-captains from near and far. We recommend you to spend the night by the waterside. Many excellent hotels – quiet and surrounded by forests – invite you to have an unforgettable stay.

Why not rent a small boat or charter a large ship or join a boat trip? And visit one of Berlin’s best and most popular party locations. The “Kultur-Arena” (where concerts, events and performances take place) in a redecorated industrial building directly at the “Spree”.

Nowhere in Berlin adventure and recreation is as closely connected as here in Berlin’s south-east. Make Treptow-Köpenick a start and destination of your own individual Berlin-experience.
