Plänterwald

The Berlin neighborhood of Plänterwald, in the Treptow-Köpenick district, is best known for the forest of the same name, which was laid out in 1760 along the banks of the Spree as a selectively logged woodland. Originally used for forestry, the area has served as a recreational spot close to the city since the 19th century and borders Treptower Park. A key attraction is the Kulturpark, which opened as an amusement park in 1969 and later became known as Spreepark. After its closure and extensive renovation work, which is scheduled to continue until 2027, the grounds will reopen with a new Ferris wheel and natural habitats. South of the park, you'll find the historic Eierhäuschen, a 19th-century excursion restaurant that has been restored in keeping with its landmark status and now serves as a beer garden.
