Discover the quiet, elegant side of Potsdam on this scenic 12 km hike through historic parks and lakeside paths. We’ll explore the beautiful Park Babelsberg, walk alongside gentle alpacas through Glienicker Park, cross the iconic Glienicker Brücke, and finish with a well-earned stop at a stunning lakeside brewery in Neuer Garten, known for its excellent house-brewed beer you won’t find anywhere else.
This hike brings together some of Potsdam’s most beautiful landscapes, architecture and memorable experiences.
The route links a series of historic parks, each with its own character. From the rolling scenery of Park Babelsberg to the lakeside setting of Neuer Garten. Along the way, there’s a strong sense of history, from Prussian palaces to the Cold War story of the Glienicker Brücke.
A real highlight of the day is the alpaca walk. Spending time with these calm, good-natured animals adds a slower, more playful rhythm to the day and is sure to be a fond memory.
We also pause at the lakeside Brauerei Meierei im Neuen Garten, a former dairy turned brewery. With its traditional character, delicious house-brewed beers, and a beer garden overlooking the Jungfernsee, it’s an ideal place to relax and take it all in.
This day-trip is a chance to slow down and enjoy the company of some gentle alpacas as part of a varied, social day in the fresh outdoors with a group of curious explorers.
