April 6, 2025, Finkenkrug Forest Path

Finkenkrug is part of the town of Falkensee. The district takes its name from the Old Finkenkrug, built in 1777 on the site of an original tar kiln in the Bredower Forest and located on the highway between Spandau and Nauen. This excursion destination was very popular with day-trippers until 1945.[1] https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finkenkrug
