Anyone who makes their way to Lake Tegel through the old village meadows of Alt-Tegel will certainly also look at the Protestant church surrounded by beautiful old trees. The first service was held here, in the Protestant church, on January 19, 1912. 100 years have now passed since then. If we look at the village churches of the Reinickendorf church district - Alt-Wittenau and Alt-Reinickendorf - which are over 700 years old, then this church building is still very young. It is astonishing to learn that the entire building, reminiscent of the old Saxon church forts, was only built in 1911. This church building is the fourth on the same site, a Germanic and later Wendish urn cemetery. From this we can conclude that the Tegel church square was already a place of worship in pre-Christian times.

Beautiful information boards with which you can learn a lot about the forest. The boards about edible and poisonous mushrooms are particularly important.

Nice big enclosures. Unfortunately there were no wild boars, red deer or fallow deer to be seen anywhere. I didn't go into the kitchen though.
